Property crimes encompass a variety of offenses that are considered committed against property instead of persons. These crimes can range from a minor shoplifting incident to a major felony, such as a residential burglary. While some property crimes are nonviolent, all are aggressively pursued and prosecuted by the State. These offenses can be charged as misdemeanors or felonies, putting you at risk for jail and prison time, fines, probation, and restitution to the alleged victims. After a conviction, you will have a permanent criminal record that is easily accessible online; this can affect your job, immigration status, and future opportunities when viewed by prospective employers, landlords, professional licensing agencies, and all other members of the community. These convictions can jeopardize your future for years to come.

What Are Property Crimes in Arizona

Property crimes typically involve various types of theft or destruction of property. These are crimes that can be charged as both misdemeanors and felonies.

Examples of property crimes in Arizona can include but are not limited to the following:

▪ Arson. This occurs when you knowingly set fire to buildings, structures, or someone’s personal property that results in its damage.
▪ Burglary. Entering to, or remaining unlawfully in, someone else’s property with intent to commit a felony or a theft once inside.
▪ Criminal property damage. This can apply to damage done through various means, such as vandalism, trespassing, graffiti, burglary, arson, and more.
▪ Shoplifting. This is a type of theft offense that is committed while in an establishment in which merchandise is displayed for sale. It does not only mean taking without paying but includes other acts such as changing an item’s price tag in order to pay less for the item.
▪ Organized retail theft. This generally involves shoplifting through the use of devices, instruments, or containers and includes the intent to sell the stolen items afterward.
▪ Criminal trespass. This can include trespass on residential and non-residential property, commercial yards, and railroad tracks and facilities.
▪ Trafficking stolen property. This involves using stolen credit cards as well as reselling or trading goods stolen from others.
▪ Auto theft.

Penalties

Penalties for property crimes vary depending on the nature of the offense, the damage done, or the value of the goods or services stolen. For example, theft of property or services valued under $1,000 is typically a Class 1 misdemeanor, while theft between $2,000 and less than $3,000 is a Class 5 felony. Class 1 misdemeanors carry up to six months of jail time and fines of up to $2,500, while Class 5 felonies carry a potential prison term between six months to 2.5 years.

Our firm is experienced in the issues involved in property crimes, how law enforcement and the state investigate and prosecute them, and what can be done to help you combat them.

I was accused/cited for DUI so I hired Javier Alatorre to defend me (I was under the legal BAC limit). When I first spoke to Javier, he treated me like a person and never made me like a criminal so I felt very comfortable with him. He was always available to discuss this case even though it dragged on for over 3 years (COVID). The end result was that he got my cased dismissed. I couldn't ask for anything better. I highly recommend Javier.

Attorney Javier Alatorre is very attentive, personable, and responds timely to inquiries. His confidence and knowledge of the judicial process is commendable and very reassuring. His understanding of a client's concerns and worries is notable and very much appreciated. My case is ongoing, but thus far, attorney Alatorre has proven to be very responsible, available, and invested in serving his clients.

Even though my case was in Bull Head City. I am more than glad I got with Javier. Im the type of person that don’t trust anyone. Believe nothing of what you hear and only half of what you see. Thats my motto. After a week of talking to every lawyer through out AZ I liked Javier the best. And was extremely glad I trusted my instincts. I love to gamble but not with my life. Trust me. Just call him

Javier helped me out not once, but twice in an exceptional manner. Javier was always on time and one step ahead of the process. He was also extremely courteous to the courtroom employees and could navigate around situations at ease. Not to mention he had pin point precision in examining details in both cases. Both outcomes in the two cases I had him for were more than advantageous. I highly recommend Javier for your next case!

I highly recommend Javier Alatorre. He is very professional and exceeded all my expectations. Not only is he very knowledgeable, he takes the time and has the ability to explain all aspects of the case in simple terms.Javier draws on his own extensive experience as well as on his wide professional network to provide the best counsel across different specialties. In my case the immigration implications were important and he helped me understand the possible outcomes and decide on the best course to achieve the desired result.If you want results, you want Javier Alatorre on your team.
