Protecting Your Rights, Reputation, and Future

Being charged with theft in Michigan is a serious matter that can result in criminal penalties, a permanent record, and long-term consequences for employment, housing, and reputation. Whether it involves a small item or a major property offense, theft charges must be handled with urgency and the help of an experienced defense attorney.

At The Nunley Law Group, we provide strategic, compassionate defense for clients facing theft-related charges and work to protect your rights from the very beginning.

Common Types of Theft Charges in Michigan

• Larceny
  The unlawful taking of someone else's personal property. Charges vary depending on the value of the property (under or over $1,000) and prior convictions.

• Retail Fraud (Shoplifting)
  Taking merchandise from a store without paying, altering price tags, or attempting to defraud a retailer. Charges range from third-degree (misdemeanor) to first-degree (felony) based on value and repeat offenses.

• Embezzlement
  Theft or misappropriation of money or property by someone in a position of trust, such as an employee or financial manager.

• Auto Theft / Unlawful Use of a Motor Vehicle
  Taking or using a motor vehicle without permission, which can lead to felony charges.

• Receiving and Concealing Stolen Property
  Knowingly possessing property that was stolen by someone else, even if you were not involved in the original theft.

• Identity Theft and Credit Card Fraud
  Using someone else’s identity or financial information without consent—charges can involve both state and federal offenses.
