Theft charges can become far more serious than you expect. As prosecutors review the evidence and determine the value of the property involved, the penalties can quickly escalate. A conviction may result in jail or prison time, substantial fines, restitution, and lasting consequences for your employment and future. Knowing your legal options early can make a big difference.
Hi, I'm Jim Spangler. My team has handled theft and property cases across Dallas County since 2014, challenging video evidence, restitution demands, and charge levels prosecutors use to pressure early pleas.
