Theft, Robbery & Burglary Attorney in Los Angeles

California property crime charges range from petty theft misdemeanors to serious strike felonies — and where your case falls on that spectrum depends heavily on how it’s defended. The value of the alleged theft, the circumstances of the offense, and your prior record all affect what you’re charged with and what penalties you face.

Property Crime Charges Rana Defends

Rana handles petty theft (PC 484), grand theft (PC 487), shoplifting (PC 459.5), residential and commercial burglary (PC 459), robbery (PC 211), carjacking, receiving stolen property, auto theft, identity theft, and embezzlement.

How Rana Defends Property Crime Cases

Theft cases often hinge on intent — the prosecution must prove you intended to permanently deprive the owner of their property. Rana challenges evidence of intent, property valuation (which determines felony vs. misdemeanor), and identification evidence. In robbery and burglary cases, he examines witness identifications, surveillance footage, and whether statements were obtained in violation of your Miranda rights. Charge reductions are meaningful and often achievable.
