Grand Theft Auto Attorney

Grand Theft Auto (GTA) — unlawfully taking or driving someone else’s vehicle — carries severe penalties such as imprisonment, fines, and long-term effects. At Rose Law Firm, we offer expert guidance and build a robust defense customized to your case.

Understanding Grand Theft Auto Charges and Their Legal Consequences

Grand Theft Auto (GTA) charges occur when someone takes or drives a vehicle without the owner’s permission. To prove GTA, the prosecution must show the vehicle was taken without consent and consider your intent, whether to keep it permanently or temporarily deprive the owner.

Even knowingly driving a stolen vehicle can lead to charges, regardless of intent. Laws and penalties vary by state but are generally strict.

GTA is often a “wobbler” offense, charged as either a misdemeanor or felony depending on factors like criminal history, how the vehicle was taken, and if it was returned. Misdemeanors may result in up to one year in county jail, fines, and probation.

Felonies carry harsher penalties, including several years in state prison. Aggravating factors such as the use of force, weapons, or related crimes can increase charges and sentencing severity.
