Legal Question in Criminal Law in Wisconsin

A felony theft is extremely serious.

A theft offense can be very serious. The potential penalties ojn a felony theft depends on the amount alleged to have been stolen. A theft with a value over $5,000 but less than $35,000 is punishable byimprisonment for not more than ten years or to payment of a fine of not more than $20,000, or both. If convicted of a felony, there is little chance that you will avoid at least some jail time. Accordingly, an aggressive defense is necssary, both to avoid jail time and to avoid a felony record that will have serious collateral consequences.
