Missouri treats many property offenses as felonies — carrying years in prison, thousands in fines, and a permanent criminal record. Select a charge below to learn more about the offense, penalties, and how we defend these cases.
Theft / Stealing
Taking another person's property with the intent to permanently deprive them of it. Charges range from misdemeanor to felony based on the value of the property taken.
Burglary
Knowingly entering or remaining in a building with intent to commit a crime inside. Missouri distinguishes between first and second degree based on weapons, threats, or occupancy.
Tampering with a Motor Vehicle
Knowingly stealing, possessing, selling, or operating someone else's motor vehicle without consent. Kansas City has one of the highest vehicle theft rates in the nation.
Criminal Damage to Property
Knowingly damaging or defacing another person's property — from vandalism and graffiti to breaking windows and damaging vehicles.
Arson
Knowingly causing damage to a building or inhabitable structure by fire or explosion. Charges escalate dramatically if someone is injured or endangered.
