Property Offences

Charged with a Property Offence? Your Defence Starts with the Right Strategy

Property-related charges can range from shoplifting to complex fraud and break-and-enter cases. A conviction can carry serious consequences, including jail time, fines, and a permanent criminal record. At JM Defence, we work to understand the full context of the allegation and build a defence that protects your rights and reputation.

We represent clients charged with:

• Theft (Under or Over $5,000)
  We explore defences including lack of intent, mistaken identity, and issues with evidence collection.
• Possession of Stolen Property
  We examine whether you knew the property was stolen and whether the search and seizure were lawful.
• Break and Enter
  We review surveillance, witness statements, and forensic evidence to challenge weak or circumstantial claims.
• Mischief to Property
  We assess the extent of the alleged damage, intent, and whether charges are proportionate to the incident.
• Fraud and Forgery
  We defend against complex allegations involving financial records, false documentation, and digital evidence.

Property offences can often be resolved without a conviction when handled properly. Jimmy Malhi brings a results-driven approach to each case, focused on minimizing penalties and protecting your future.
