Grand theft refers to stolen property or services that are valued above $950 and is described in California Penal Code section 487 .  Keep in mind that, unlike petty theft, which is a misdemeanor, Grand Theft is a wobbler which means it may be charged as a misdemeanor or a felony.  The determination of the charge depends upon your criminal history and the circumstances of your case.

We have worked with clients accused of grand theft from many major Bay Area retail establishments.  We’ve found that some loss prevention personnel are overly aggressive, often misunderstanding what may be an innocent mistake.

We are familiar with the illegal tactics used by these stores and can often turn them into advantages when defending our clients.
