In Illinois, misdemeanor theft charges can have serious consequences, including community service, heavy fines, jail time and more. Although a Theft misdemeanor in Illinois is a lesser crime than a felony, no criminal charge should be taken lightly. Misdemeanor Theft convictions on your record can also affect your immigration and employment rights, as well as other aspects of your life. If you already have a misdemeanor conviction on your record, the sentence for a subsequent offense will likely be more severe. That is why it is always wise to consult with a criminal defense attorney regarding any Theft misdemeanor charges in Illinois.
