Theft can be defined as unpermitted control over property. This may be thoughtfully planned out and intentional or may be through deception. Maryland theft convictions depend on the value of the stolen property. With a value of $1,000 or more is guilty of a felony subject to imprisonment not exceeding 10 years or a fine not exceeding $ 10,000. If the value of the stolen property is less than $1,000, the charges is a little less severe and will be considered a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment not exceeding 18 months or a fine not exceeding $500 or both.
Another form of theft that is seen as more hostile is robbery. This type of theft can be defined as forceful taking of a property. Committing a robbery can have serious consequences and someone who violates this section of MD statute is guilty of a felony
and on conviction is subject to imprisonment not exceeding 15 years. If a weapon is used in the commission of crime, or “a written instrument claiming the person has possession of a dangerous weapon” –then the maximum sentence is increased to 20 years.
It is important to know where to turn to when you are accused on a theft crime. If you find yourself in this situation, it is crucial to contact a MD criminal lawyer specialized in theft and robbery cases to safeguard your rights and to scrutinize the government’s case and to discover all exculpatory evidence. |

Chicago law firm Brodsky & Odeh splits
Firm News/Illinois |
2010/08/20 16:34
|
The law firm of Brodsky & Odeh, the legal practice behind several of Chicago's biggest cases, is splitting up, partners Reem Odeh and Joel A. Brodsky jointly announced today. "We have grown in different directions and our expertise is now in very different areas of law," says Brodsky. "After some soul searching and discussion it became obvious to both of us that it simply makes more sense to be in separate law firms." Odeh, who teamed with Brodsky six years ago, says she is looking forward to forging ahead with developing her own practice. "I learned a lot from practicing criminal law with Joel over the last six years, and now it is time for me to develop my own identity as an attorney," says Odeh. Brodsky and Odeh are probably best known for their representation of former Bolingbrook police officer Drew Peterson. Reem says that despite the breakup of the firm, she will remain a part of Peterson's defense team.

Robbins Umeda LLP Announces an Investigation of the Acquisition of McAfee, Inc.
Firm News/California |
2010/08/20 16:32
|
Robbins Umeda LLP has commenced an investigation into possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law by members of the Board of Directors ("Board") of McAfee, Inc. ("McAfee" or the "Company") (NYSE: MFE) in connection with their efforts to sell McAfee to Intel Corporation ("Intel") (NASDAQ: INTC). If the transaction is completed, McAfee shareholders will receive $48.00 in cash for each share of McAfee common stock they hold. Robbins Umeda LLP's investigation concerns whether the McAfee Board undertook a fair process to obtain fair consideration for all shareholders of McAfee. Specifically, our investigation concerns whether the Company's Board breached their fiduciary duties to McAfee shareholders by failing to adequately shop the Company before entering into the transaction with Intel. At least one analyst had a price target for the Company at $50 per share. Additionally, under the terms of the agreement, McAfee must pay Intel a $230 million termination fee if McAfee accepts a superior offer to the Intel offer. If you are a shareholder of McAfee, plan to continue to hold your shares, and would like more information about your rights as a shareholder, please contact attorney Gregory E. Del Gaizo at 800-350-6003 or by e-mail at info@robbinsumeda.com.
