Theft Crimes in Ocean City and Maryland

Misdemeanor Theft

You may be in need of the best attorney you can find for a theft charge. In Maryland, the seriousness of a theft crime is driven by the value of the property in question. Thefts involving less than $100.00 carry a maximum punishment of 90 days in jail. If the value is between $100.00 and $1,500.00, you may be facing 6 months or more in jail. If you have a prior record, the penalties can be even greater.

In addition to criminal penalties, a conviction for theft can seriously affect prospects for employment and further education. Many of our clients are students. It is very important to have the best attorney possible to help your efforts to avoid these consequences.

Theft cases often involve alcohol or drug abuse or addiction. Our attorneys often refer our clients to certain counseling or treatment programs as an alternative to jail sentences in these cases. We have defended hundreds of these cases over 25 years of practice. We may be the best choice for an attorney for your case.

Felony Theft and Embezzlement

If the value of property exceeds $1,500.00 you may be charged with a felony offense, you may be facing 5, 10 or even 20 years of imprisonment depending on the value of the property involved. If so, you will need the best attorney possible to represent you. Our attorneys often use accounting experts when necessary to provide the best defense possible.

In addition to advancing any defenses, our attorneys are skilled at developing evidence to reduce the seriousness of the alleged crime so that the Judge will have alternatives to a sentence of imprisonment. If you are charged with a felony theft crime, call us immediately for effective representation.

  • "With Warren Price by your side, you can walk into court with confidence knowing you have the best representation possible."

    Mr. Price represented me in a Domestic Violence case. After a little over a year, the case against me was dismissed. Throughout the entire process, Mr. Price and his office were incredible in communicating and seeing my needs. With Warren Price by your side, you can walk into court with confidence knowing you have the best representation possible.

    Warren works really hard for his clients and cares deeply about them. For Warren, it is not just a job, but a calling. He is a man of great character and is also a brilliant lawyer, with a top-notch education. If someone needs a criminal defense lawyer or UCMJ counsel in Colorado, I cannot think of anyone I would highly recommend.

  • "They helped me through the most stressful year of my life and ultimately proved my innocence."

    Mr. Murphy and Mr. Price were the first attorneys I ever worked with. They took time to explain each aspect of my case and made themselves available whenever I needed them. They helped me through the most stressful year of my life and ultimately proved my innocence. I would highly recommend their firm. Not only are they great attorneys, but I would also consider them my friends.

  • "He was very knowledgeable in both criminal and military law and most importantly he was so passionate, very organized, respectful, and kept me updated on my case."

    I hired Mr. Murphy in the last second of administrative discharge. He gathered the evidence in a very short period of time because he knows a lot of people except, relationships with other lawyers. He was very knowledgeable in both criminal and military law and most importantly he was so passionate, very organized, respectful, and kept me updated on my case. I believe he is a great attorney and he deserves more than 5 stars.

  • "This is not just a job for Mr. Price but a passion. His attentiveness and care cannot be taught."

    If I had not hired Mr. Price for my case I am certain that I wouldn’t have had the same outcome. The way he understood my concerns and fought to get my voice heard by the prosecution was more than I could have ever asked for. This is not just a job for Mr. Price but a passion. His attentiveness and care cannot be taught in an institution. His character is not something you can buy with just any attorney. Thank you so much for accomplishing the impossible. Thank you for your heart and determination. Thank you for fighting for me and most importantly thank you for granting me peace. You’ll never know what a blessing this has been for me and my family. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
