If you have been accused of stealing in any form, from shoplifting to embezzlement, your reputation, freedom, and future are at risk. You need a criminal defense attorney who will take your case as seriously as you do. At Erkan & Sullivan, P.C., we bring over 40 years of combined criminal defense experience and a reputation built on results, ethics, and strategy.
We do not just defend theft cases—we dismantle them. We examine every accusation, every witness statement, and every piece of evidence in fine detail. Our defense team knows how prosecutors think and how to use that to your advantage. When your record, career, or immigration status is on the line, you need lawyers who do not back down. That is who we are.
We know what is at stake. A conviction for theft can destroy your credibility and follow you for life. A Lawrence theft lawyer from our team will help you fight that outcome and protect everything you have worked for.
Theft-related offenses—including larceny, shoplifting, receiving stolen property, and embezzlement—carry penalties that vary depending on the value of the property concerned and the circumstances of the alleged offense. Larceny of property valued over $1,200, for example, is a felony that can result in significant jail time and fines.
The prosecution must prove intent—that you knowingly and intentionally took property that did not belong to you. Our team challenges that intent at every turn. We scrutinize the evidence for inconsistencies, question witness reliability, and expose flaws in the prosecution’s version of events.
If this is your first offense or if there are mitigating circumstances, we will pursue every legal avenue to have the charges dismissed, diverted, or reduced. Our attorneys also understand the immigration consequences a theft conviction can have for Lawrence residents, including deportation or denial of naturalization, and we plan your defense accordingly.
At Erkan & Sullivan, P.C., we combine legal knowledge with real courtroom experience. We have handled theft and larceny cases in district and superior courts across the state, and we know what it takes to win.
When you are facing a theft charge, you do not need promises—you need representation that delivers. Our firm has earned its reputation as one of the state’s most respected criminal defense practices by being both strategic and relentless. We have spent decades defending people accused of crimes who thought their situation was hopeless.
We are not a firm that produces quick pleas or settlements. We are a team of real litigators who prepare every case for trial from the very beginning. That preparation often forces prosecutors to back down before the case ever reaches a jury.
