Sugar Land Theft Defense Attorney and Criminal Defense Lawyer
My passion for criminal defense has involved taking very deliberate and detailed steps in gaining both experience and knowledge to become a criminal defense attorney. While serving as a law clerk, I co-authored articles on white collar theft. As a state prosecutor, I prosecuted multiple types of theft cases. That hands-on and academic experience enables me to give you a thorough and relentless theft defense.
Cases Prosecuted
In working my way up to becoming the senior prosecutor of a felony District Court in the State of Texas, I prosecuted many theft and property cases. Those have included, but are not limited to:
- Theft
- Auto Theft
- Theft by Check
- Fraud
- Welfare Fraud
- Embezzlement
- Unauthorized Use of a Motor Vehicle
- Shoplifting
- Vandalism
- Criminal Mischief
- Criminal Trespass
- Burglary (of Habitation or Building)
Taking Ownership of Your Case
At the Law Office of John L. Venza Jr., I will thoroughly review the State's case against you, as I do with all my clients. Theft and property-related charges have serious consequences if you are convicted. Nobody wants to be labeled a "thief" for the rest of his or her life, and theft convictions can cause you to lose your current job and prevent you from obtaining a job in the future. I defend all theft-related charges with the type of vigor and preparation you would expect from a former felony prosecutor.
Aggressive Negotiation and Litigation
My goal is to aggressively defend you and your rights with zeal while preparing your theft defense. I will work with prosecutors, some being my former peers, in negotiating the best possible outcome. However, if we cannot come to an agreeable plea bargain, I will force them to prove their case in trial.
I recognize that not all clients require legal services during standard business hours. That is why I make myself available evenings and weekends. For more information or to schedule a free consultation at my office conveniently located off of Highway 59, please contact me.
