Defending You Against Theft Charges in Western Kentucky
In Kentucky, theft of property valued in excess of $500 is a Class D Felony carrying a potential prison sentence of up to 5 years. If the property stolen exceeds a value of $10,000 the crime may be charged as a Class C Felony carrying a punishment of up to 10 years in prison.

Having competent counsel in your corner can make all the difference in resolving your case favorably.
