I got the dreaded Strike 3 Holdings letter from my ISP a month ago. Obviously, freaked out but did my research online trying to find a good attorney who could help me. Spoke to about 4 or 5 of the usual suspects you'll see when you do a google search.

Brad was the ONLY one who facilitated a face to face meeting online over Google Meet. I knew after speaking with him that I wanted him to represent me in this matter. He just seemed very thorough and knowledgeable. A couple of the other attorneys I spoke to had poor responsiveness which is alarming when that happens BEFORE you pay to retain their services. I'm not in the same state as he is but that did not matter.Brad was able to work with the other party and get this issue resolved fairly and quickly.
Thank You!

Brad represented me in a case recently and put me completely at ease throughout the process. My case had been hanging over my head for nearly a year, based on false claims. When Brad reviewed my case with me, he sensed how distressed I was about the situation and went out of his way to completely put me at ease. I had never been part of a legal process before and I'm a generally anxious person. Brad's confidence in his abilities allowed me to remain relaxed and for that I am eternally grateful.

Brad's performance in the trial was swift, calculated, and methodical. In what seemed like just a few minutes, Brad picked apart the claimants case against me, and the judge swiftly ruled in my favor. A year of anxiety gone! Brad is well worth the money spent and I recommend him without reservation.

Our Philadelphia Theft Defense Lawyers Secure Victories

Shuttleworth Law P.C. focuses on achieving client results. As always, our primary focus is getting the results that you want. However, all cases are unique; but it is reassuring to know that our Philadelphia theft defense lawyers have achieved incredible client outcomes throughout their legal careers.

Here are just a few results from some tough cases in the past:

Commonwealth of Pennsylvania v. C.L.

Ruling: Not Guilty


Client charged with armed robbery of a bank in Philadelphia. The incident was caught on video. Trial was held in front of a judge, and client was found NOT GUILTY of all charges. The defense was mistaken identification. As a criminal defense lawyer in Philadelphia, I take great pride in achieving the most advantageous outcome.

Commonwealth of Pennsylvania v. D.A.

Ruling: Not Guilty


Client was charged with aggravated assault of a correctional officer while in custody at the Detention Center in Philadelphia, PA (part of the Philadelphia Prison System). He testified that he had to punch the correctional officer in self-defense, because he was attacked by two officers. Client was found NOT GUILTY.

Commonwealth of Pennsylvania v. D.C.

Ruling: Not Guilty


Client accused of burglarizing a home at night.  A neighbor witness claimed to have seen the burglar and recognized him as client.  Witness also claimed he knew client from the neighborhood, which is why he recognized him.  Mistaken identification was the defense. Client found NOT GUILTY of all charges.

Don’t Pay the Price for a Theft Conviction in Pennsylvania

The grading and severity of theft offenses in Pennsylvania are determined mainly by item value and past convictions. Generally, the greater the value of the alleged stolen property, the more severe the penalties under law. For felony violations, firearm and motor vehicle thefts are inherently much harsher.

Let’s take a look at what is on the line in terms of penalties according to the value of the theft:

  • $500,000+: A first-degree felony, punishable by up to 20 years in prison and $25,000 in fines
  • $100,000 – $500,000: A second-degree felony, punishable by up to 10 years in prison and $25,000 in fines
  • $2,000 – $100,000: A third-degree felony, punishable by a maximum of seven years in prison and a $15,000 fine.
  • $200 – $2,000: A first-degree misdemeanor, punishable by up to five years in prison and $10,000 in fines
  • $50 – $200: A second-degree misdemeanor, punishable by up to two years in prison and $5,000 in fines
  • Less than $50: A third-degree misdemeanor, punishable by up to one year in prison and $2,500 in fines

Theft offenses using a firearm in Pennsylvania are more severely penalized. For example, taking or receiving a stolen firearm could lead to a second-degree felony, which carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison and $25,000 in fines. Prosecutors will punish you to the fullest extent of the law if they think they can secure a conviction under these circumstances.
