Auto Theft and Burglary Lawyer/Attorney Salt Lake City

If you or someone in your family has been charged with a property crime from shoplifting to arson, contact an experienced Utah criminal defense attorney at the Jardine Law Offices for a free consultation about your legal options. We will work closely with you in the development and presentation of the strongest defense possible under the circumstances of your case.

Among the property crimes we can handle are the following:

• Burglary.
• Car theft.
• Theft by check or false pretenses.
• Robbery.
• Vandalism or malicious destruction of property.
• Sale or possession of stolen property.
• Theft of services.

We also represent persons charged with theft of rented cars or equipment, when the rental agency reports that a motor vehicle or other rental property is stolen. In many instances, these complaints represent nothing more than the attempt to get law enforcement and the criminal courts to act as a collection agent for the rental company.

Depending on the circumstances of your case, we can work toward a plea in abeyance, which will result in the dismissal of your case after a period of law-abiding behavior. In other cases, we can negotiate a favorable plea with the prosecution that will spare you jail time. In some situations, however, the best approach will be to present your defense before a jury at trial. Our experience with the different prosecutors and courts around Utah can help identify which strategy will work best in your case.
