Experienced Representation by a Former Prosecutor
For Theft, Burglary and Property Crimes
If you are accused of stealing, trespassing or causing damage to property, you will need experienced legal representation to avoid harsh consequences. As a former prosecutor, I know how to assert defenses and mitigating factors that may spare you from jail and a criminal conviction.
My name is Josh W. Thacker. I am a criminal defense lawyer with 10 years of experience handling theft crimes, burglary charges and related property crimes. In your defense, I draw on my insights from six years as an Assistant District Attorney in the Griffin and Coweta circuits.
Don't Let This Ruin Your Life
I intervene with the prosecution or with the victim to try to get charges dropped or downgraded, so that a theft or burglary offense does not come back to haunt you. Contact me today to discuss your situation in a free consultation.
Mitigating the Consequences of Theft Charges
Based in Griffin, I take cases in Spalding, Henry, Lamar and Butts counties, and other nearby jurisdictions of Central Georgia and South Metro Atlanta. I have both prosecuted and defended adults and juveniles for a wide range of offenses:
- Shoplifting or employee theft
- Larceny and grand larceny
- Bad checks
- Credit card theft
- Identity theft and other fraud
- Burglary of a home or business
- Receiving stolen property
- Breaking and entering
- Vandalism/destruction of property
Giving back stolen property or making restitution can go a long way toward resolving this without jail and a criminal record, but it must be handled properly when criminal charges are pending or filed. I will explore your defenses and the prosecution's case so that you know where you stand and what the best options are.
If you are accused of a felony crime such as burglarizing a home or stealing high-value items, I will negotiate with the prosecutor to reduce the charges to a misdemeanor theft or trespassing charge, or I will prepare to defend you at trial if necessary to avoid prison.
