Property Crime Defense

In property crime cases — fraud, extortion, destruction of property, and more —
we demonstrate the unfounded nature of the charges and protect our clients' rights.

01

Overview

Property crimes encompass the full range of offenses that infringe on others' property interests — including fraud, extortion, embezzlement, breach of fiduciary duty, receipt of stolen goods, and destruction of property. This is a legally complex area, involving difficult judgments about the boundary between civil breach of contract and criminal fraud, the existence of unlawful intent to acquire, and the calculation of damages.

PYEONG AN's attorneys with prosecutorial experience in property crime investigations precisely distinguish the civil and criminal character of each case, providing the most appropriate defense for every situation — vigorous defense in cases of denial of charges, and sentence reduction strategies in cases of admitted liability.
