Speaking with an Attorney

Content: Prison. Prison sentences for felony theft can last a number of years, though the length of the sentence differs significantly. For first-time offenders who are convicted of the lowest severity level of felony theft, the potential prison sentence can be anywhere from several months to two or three years, though a court may also choose not to impose any jail time. For repeat offenders or those convicted of the most serious felony theft offenses, prison sentences can range between several years to 20 years or more. Fines. Felony theft convictions also bring with them the possibility of significant fines. A single conviction can bring a fine as low as $1,000 dollars, or as high as $150,000 or more. Restitution. Apart from any fines, courts also typically require a convicted person to pay restitution. Restitution is money paid to compensate the owner of the property for the loss.
