Property Crimes

Attorney Paul D. Cramm - Defense of Property Crimes

If you're facing state or federal charges involving the theft or destruction of property, such as vandalism, burglary, or mortgage fraud, you'll need a Kansas City defense lawyer who understands the law and has the resources to develop and present your defense effectively. Contact me in Olathe for a free consultation about your situation and my ability to represent you and protect your interests.

My familiarity with what the prosecution needs to prove in any property crime prosecution can be a significant advantage in the preparation of your defense. As the defendant, you don't have to prove anything. As your lawyer, it's my job to match the evidence against you with the legal requirements outlined in the definition of any particular crime. I look for gaps between what the government needs to prove and what they can prove.

When evidence is vulnerable to attack because it was obtained illegally, without a valid warrant, or without probable cause to conduct a search, we move to suppress the evidence. When the evidence disappears from the case, so do the charges against you.

I represent Johnson County and Wyandotte County defendants facing charges such as:

• Burglary or breaking and entering
• Car theft or unauthorized use of a motor vehicle
• Employee theft or shoplifting
• Criminal damage to property, including graffiti or tagging, or vandalism
• Receiving or possession of stolen property
• Criminal trespass

For further information about your particular charges and a free consultation about your options, contact me at my Olathe office.
