The sooner you call a lawyer, the sooner we can begin to protect your rights and prepare your defense. The attorneys at the SBMH law firm are on your side. Anything you tell your lawyer is confidential and can help build a strong defense.

• Compromise of misdemeanor: If you are facing a theft accusation that has been charged as a gross misdemeanor, we may be able to negotiate with the victim for a compromise of misdemeanor. Under certain circumstances Washington law allows a theft charge to be dismissed where civil damages have been paid. Your SBMH attorney can make sure the compromise is properly negotiated under the law.
• Thorough investigation: At Stewart Beall MacNichols & Harmell, Inc., P.S. we don't just accept the government's version of events. Our lawyers work to know more about your case than anyone working for the police or prosecution. If there are irregularities in the evidence, or if we believe that it was obtained improperly, we will challenge it and, whenever possible, have it excluded. This initial work places our clients in a more powerful position during plea negotiations, and gives us a stronger case should we need to go to trial. Ask Yourself: Who are the witnesses? Why did the police investigate the situation? Was there probable cause to stop, detain and/or arrest? The more we know about what happened, the better we can prepare your defense and protect your rights. By telling your defense lawyer about all the circumstances surrounding the alleged theft, forgery or fraud, we can do our own investigation, looking for exonerating evidence or challenging evidence that was not properly obtained. Call us now to talk to a defense attorney about the circumstances and the factors that led up to the arrest for a theft related charge.
• If you stole something, is there a reason that could lessen the sentence you are facing?
• Forgery, theft and fraud: Forged prescriptions, forged checks, credit card fraud, ID theft and bad checks are all charges that can threaten your reputation, your job opportunities and your freedom. Talk to a criminal defense lawyer.
