We Strive to Protect More Than Your Criminal Record
For doctors, nurses, accountants, teachers, real estate professionals, financial advisors, attorneys, and many others, a theft conviction can lead to consequences that extend well beyond the courtroom. Depending on your profession, you may face reporting requirements, disciplinary proceedings, or other licensing issues that could affect your ability to continue working in your chosen field.
That is why every decision made during your criminal defense case matters. The charges you face, the way your case is resolved, and even the language used in a plea agreement can have lasting professional consequences.
Every theft case presents its own challenges and opportunities. We begin by thoroughly reviewing the evidence, examining how the allegations arose, identifying weaknesses in the prosecution's case, and pursuing every available opportunity to reduce or dismiss the charges whenever we’re supported by the facts and the law.
When a client holds a professional license, we also consider how each legal strategy may affect their future employment and licensing obligations. If appropriate, we coordinate with professional licensing counsel so that both the criminal case and any related licensing concerns are addressed together rather than separately.
Our attorneys bring more than 150 years of combined trial experience to every case, including the perspective of a former prosecutor who understands how theft cases are investigated and prosecuted. We’re proud of the plethora of good reviews prior clients have given us, and we aim to live up to that good reputation every day.
Experienced Counsel for Challenging Situations
Larceny accusations in our region are often driven by specialized law enforcement operations, ranging from corporate loss prevention actions at major retail hubs in Yonkers and Greenburgh to targeted white-collar investigations conducted by the Economic Crimes Bureau of the Westchester County District Attorney’s Office.
Our legal team is deeply familiar with how local town courts and county prosecutors calculate property valuations to aggregate separate offenses into high-level felony charges. By intervening early in the pre-arraignment phase, we can work to challenge the state's initial evidence and protect your interests before an investigation escalates into an official indictment.
A theft charge does not have to define your future. The sooner you speak with one of our lawyers, the sooner we can begin protecting both your rights and your professional future. We remain accessible throughout your case, providing clear communication and practical guidance when you need it most.
Located in the heart of the White Plains business district, right off the I-287 corridor, Portale Randazzo LLP offers convenient proximity to the Westchester County Court complex and the federal courthouse.
