Understanding Theft Laws in Mississippi
Theft is a broad term that encompasses a number of different crimes.
Theft charges can be brought against someone who:
- Takes someone else's property without their consent.
- Takes property that belongs to them but does so without the owner's consent.
- Steals property that is valued at over $500.
- Steals property from a store, business, or other type of establishment.
Each of these situations is considered theft, even though the charges are different based on the circumstances of the crime. The penalties for theft crimes can be severe, and the evidence necessary for a conviction is often circumstantial. If you have been charged with theft, it is important that you speak with an attorney as soon as possible.

Being from South Mississippi, I had no idea who to hire when I received charges in DeSoto County. I called a number of different attorneys, and ended up hiring Robbie Hayes at the Hayes Law Firm. Not only was his price reasonable, but both Mr. Hayes and his staff were very professional, knowledgeable, and kept me informed throughout the duration of my case. With my job on the line, Mr. Hayes took my case to trial and was able to have both charges against me dismissed. Now I am able to return to the profession that I love and was trained for. I am grateful to Mr. Hayes and his staff and would recommend them to anyone in need of a lawyer in Mississippi or Tennessee.

When I was arrested recently for DUI, I was in danger of losing my job. So I called my friend that was a retired police officer. He told me there was only one attorney that I should consider. He recommended Robbie Hayes at Hayes Law Firm. I hired Mr. Hayes. He met with me, discussed my case and informed me of the entire process, including the best and worst case scenarios. He and his staff were courteous, professional and kept me informed throughout the entire process. Fortunately, he was able to have my charge dismissed. Hiring Hayes Law Firm was the best decision I could have ever made. I highly recommend Mr. Hayes and his firm to anyone that finds themselves in a similar situation.
