Theft Crimes in Murfreesboro, TN
Defense for shoplifting, burglary, robbery, and other theft-related offenses. We fight to protect your record and your freedom.
What You're Facing
Theft penalties in Tennessee depend on the value of the alleged taking. Theft under $1,000 is a Class A misdemeanor (up to 11 months 29 days). Theft of $1,000–$9,999 is a Class D felony (2–12 years). Theft over $60,000 is a Class B felony (8–30 years). Robbery and aggravated robbery carry Class C and Class B felony penalties respectively, with mandatory minimum sentences.
How We Build Your Defense
- Intent challenges — theft requires criminal intent; mistakes, confusion, or permission are complete defenses we exploit
- Value disputes — the prosecution's valuation of property often overstates the actual value, which can reduce the charge level
- Mistaken identity defense — surveillance footage, eyewitness misidentification, and circumstantial evidence are frequently wrong
- First-offender options — diversion and deferred adjudication may be available to keep theft charges off your permanent record
- Civil demand letters — retailers sometimes try to pressure quick guilty pleas; we protect you from being coerced
Why a Former Prosecutor Makes a Difference
Before founding Quinn Rodriguez Law PLLC, Quinn Rodriguez served as a police officer and as an Assistant District Attorney in the 16th Judicial District. He has sat on both sides of these cases — he knows the arguments prosecutors make, the evidence they rely on, and the weaknesses they try to hide. For theft crimes cases, that insider knowledge translates into more effective challenges, smarter negotiations, and stronger results for clients throughout Murfreesboro and Middle Tennessee.
