About Possession of a Stolen Vehicle

To obtain a conviction, the government must prove that the car was stolen, the defendant had possession of the car and that he or she knew it was stolen. The penalty for a conviction is 3 to 7 years in prison, and a defendant may also experience other consequences such as a ruined reputation and difficulty obtaining a good job or acquiring loans in the future.

Our team takes our obligation of energetic defense counsel seriously because we know the far-reaching consequences that a possession of stolen vehicle conviction can have on a person's life. We scrutinize the evidence for inconsistencies. We look for violations of our clients' constitutional rights. When we find them, we file motions to suppress the evidence that was obtained. This may lead to a dismissal of charges. We insist that the prosecution prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt, and where there are any shortcomings in the evidence we insist that the jury acquit.
