A Manhattan Grand Larceny Lawyer can tell you that the crime of Grand Larceny involves the taking of an item that has a monetary value of over $1,000. This is a very common crime, not only in New York but throughout the U.S. If the item stolen is under $1,000., the crime is considered Petit Larceny. The legal penalties for Grand Larceny are serious, so it is important that you ensure that your rights are protected. You could be facing jail, substantial fines, and probation. Contact a Manhattan Grand Larceny Lawyer from our team right away for assistance.

Grand Larceny is generally defined in NY Penal Law section 155.00. There are four subcategories of the crime, in the first through the 4th degree. Which particular category will apply depends on the dollar amount of the item stolen.

NY Penal Law Section 155.30 - Grand Larceny in the 4th: This law applies if the item stolen is valued under $2999.99, but at least $1,000. It also includes the taking of a firearm, or taking a public record or item of religious worship. It is a class E felony offense.

NY Penal Law Section 155.35 – Grand Larceny is the 3d Degree: This law applies if the item stolen is worth $49,999.99 or less, but not under $3,000. It is a class D felony offense.

NY Penal Law Section 155.40 – Grand Larceny in the 2nd Degree: A person is guilty of this crime where the property taken is higher than $50,000., but not over $999,999. It is a class C felony offense.

NY Penal Law Section 155.42 – Grand Larceny in the 1st Degree: A person is guilty of this crime if the property is valued at $1,000,000. or more. This crime is class B felony offense.

The dollar amounts involved with the crime of Grand Larceny are cumulative, unlike other theft crimes. If a defendant takes $1,000. from another for 50 days for instance, the crime would be categorized as Grand Larceny in the 2 degree. On the other hand if the defendant committed Burglary by entering a dwelling at taking $1,000. for 50 days, the defendant can be charged with 50 counts of Burglary.

My wife and I met under some unconventional circumstances. After I had some legal problems, Mr Bilkis and his firm continually got me out of trouble. I then had his firm represented my wife and he got her out of trouble! We are still married and got our ways straightened away. We both can't thank him enough for saving our lives and our families!

I was in need of legal assistance for a very sensitive matter for a family member. I contacted the law offices of Stephen Bilkis & Associates, PLLC and was met with staff whose demeanor was supportive, compassionate and professional. The lawyer handling our case had many years of experience and treated us as if we were his own family. Our experience was so good, and we became so close to all of the staff and all of the attorneys who assisted us, that we consider them our extended family and continue to send them our home baked gifts for the holidays. P.A.K.
