Petit Theft

Understanding Petit Theft
Petit Theft is defined by Florida Statute 812.014 as “theft where a person knowingly obtains or uses, or endeavors to obtain or to use, the property of another with intent to, either (a) temporarily or permanently deprive the other person of a right to the property or a benefit from the property or (b) appropriate the property to his or her own use or to the use of any person not entitled to the use of the property. If the property stolen is valued at $100 or more, but less than $300, the Petit Theft is a first-degree misdemeanor.” 
This charge should not be treated as inconsequential. It is often the catalyst to a path that leads to future crimes of a more severe nature. And, if you are not represented legally or choose an inexperienced lawyer to take your case, you may end up with far more serious consequences than you would if you had proper representation.
