Larceny is defined as the taking someone's personal property without consent with the intent to deprive the victim of the ownership or use of that property. In Massachusetts, petty larceny is used when the property is valued less than $250 and is usually charged as a misdemeanor, and grand larceny, a felony crime, when the property is worth $250 and up.

Shoplifting is considered larceny, and the dollar value of the items taken determines whether or not the charge is grand larceny or petty larceny. Embezzlement, taking assets by someone who has been given access to the assets (like a bank account or store register), is another type of larceny, and the amount or value of the asset determines whether the theft is considered petty larceny or grand larceny.

An experienced and dedicated lawyer will fight to defend you from a larceny charge, negotiating with the prosecutor's office to make partial or full restitution so that charges can be reduced or dropped entirely. If this is a first offense, Kathleen McCarthy will fight to avoid your having a criminal record.
