A Westchester County Grand Larceny Lawyer will tell you that law enforcement and the New York District Attorney aggressively prosecute Grand Larceny and other theft offenses. This crime is generally defined as the theft of property that has a dollar value of over $1,000. This is different that Petit Larceny is defined as the theft of an item that has a dollar value of less than $1,000. Law enforcement often sees these crimes committed by Shoplifting, but it can occur in many ways, including white collar crime and Credit Card Theft. The penalties for Grand Larceny are substantial, depending on the degree. If you have been charged with Grand Larceny, contact a Westchester County Grand Larceny Lawyer from our team right away for guidance.

There are four degrees of Grand Larceny, which are:

New York Penal Law 155.30-Grand Larceny in the 4th: If the value of the item stolen is between $1,000 to $2,999.99, or the theft involved a religious item, firearm, or public record this section applies. It is considered an E felony.

New York Penal Law 155.35-Grand Larceny in the 3d: This section applies if the value of the items stolen is between $3,000. and $49,999. and is considered D felony.

New York Penal Law 155.40-Grand Larceny in the 2d: This section applies if the stolen items are between $50,000. to $999,999. and is considered a C felony.

New York Penal Law 155.42-Grand Larceny in the 1st: This section applies if the value of the item is over $1,000,000. and is considered a B felony.

A Westchester County Grand Larceny Lawyer will explain that the crime of Grand Larceny is distinguished from other theft crimes because the dollar amounts involved in the crime are cumulative. If the perpetrator stole $1,000. everyday from a person over a period of 50 days, they would be charged with 2d degree Grand Larceny. If on the other hand, the perpetrator entered a dwelling and stole 1,000. over 50 days, the perpetrator would be guilty of 50 counts of Burglary.

My wife and I met under some unconventional circumstances. After I had some legal problems, Mr Bilkis and his firm continually got me out of trouble. I then had his firm represented my wife and he got her out of trouble! We are still married and got our ways straightened away. We both can't thank him enough for saving our lives and our families! J.P.

I contacted Stephen Bilkis' office for an issue regarding a family member and I could not be happier with the results. I have recommended the firm to friends and family, all of whom were also ecstatic with Mr. Bilkis and all members of his staff. P.R.

I was in need of legal assistance for a very sensitive matter for a family member. I contacted the law offices of Stephen Bilkis & Associates, PLLC and was met with staff whose demeanor was supportive, compassionate and professional. The lawyer handling our case had many years of experience and treated us as if we were his own family. Our experience was so good, and we became so close to all of the staff and all of the attorneys who assisted us, that we consider them our extended family and continue to send them our home baked gifts for the holidays. P.A.K.

I hired Stephen Bilkis and Associates to represent me on a legal matter a few months ago and am grateful for their swift action and resolution on my behalf. I was impressed with their professionalism and would recommend them to friends and family in a heartbeat. M.B.
