Theft, property or other “white collar” crimes usually carry potential sentences that can be suspended or probated, particularly when the amount of financial harm is minimal and/or the offender makes full restitution to the victim. But, these crimes are often considered “crimes of dishonesty” or “crimes of moral turpitude.” As a result, a conviction for theft, property or other “white collar” crimes can lead to the loss or suspension of your professional license, and for the non-United States citizens, deportation. The amount at issue will usually dictate whether the offense is a misdemeanor or felony.
