Kansas | Trespassing

STARLAW.US

Trespassing is defined by accessing someone else’s property without their consent, after either signs of no entry have been posted or consent has been denied. If a person enters someone else’s property, but there are no signs and no verbal warning has been given, the action is not considered as illegal trespassing.

An exception to the rule above is entry onto property that has been fenced. There is no need for a sign or a warning, when there is some sort of protection of the property. If a person deliberately enters a fenced area, the action is considered trespassing, according to the Kansas law.

What can you face?

Even though trespassing is a misdemeanor, and not a felony, the punishments can be up to $1,000 and 30 days in jail, for those being convicted for the first time. Trespassing falls under county jurisdiction in and of itself; however, more often than not, it is connected to additional crimes.

Important message

The fact that the fines and other punishment types are set to a certain level for trespassing doesn’t mean that they cannot be higher. When trespassing is connected to a crime, the civil lawsuit may end up exceeding the limits stated above significantly.

If you are being charged with trespassing, contact the lawyers on starlaw.us. Our professional team of criminal defense attorneys will go with you through the scenario and find the best strategy.

Kansas | Theft

STARLAW.US

There are several different classifications, as well as punishments associated with these classifications, that you can meet when you are charged with theft. Let’s take a look at each one.

Class A nonperson misdemeanor—this is theft of any services or property that is lower than $1000. This is the lowest theft level in the state and is considered petty theft. If you write a check that is worthless for less than this amount, this can classify under this as well. The penalty for this class will include a fine up to $2,500 and up to a year in

Severity Level 9 this theft is going to include money between $1000 and $25,000. If you take services or products from three separate places in less than three days, this will be placed under the Severity Level 9 clause. You could spend between five to seven months in jail if you don’t have a prior record and a fine of up to $100,000.

Severity Level 7 the next type of theft is the Severity Level 7. This theft will include monetary values of above $25,000. You could spend more than a year in jail, as long as you don’t have a criminal record, and pay up to $100,000 in fines.

Severity Level 5 this one is considered one of the worst in the state. You will have stolen $100,000 or more in services or product and could spend almost three years in prison. The fine jumps up to $300,000 as well so you could be paying this off for some time.·

Dealing with these long prison sentences as well as the huge fines can make things seem scary and confusing. Don’t try to bring in your own defense. Instead, consider hiring a professional to help you every step of the way. A good criminal lawyer will know how to navigate this system and even reduce some of your penalties if necessary.

Prior Convictions:

If you have been in trouble with theft in the past, all the penalties listed above are going to increase. While the penalties are pretty stiff for first time offenders, they go up with each conviction and can become worse if you use assault or battery while doing the theft.

Whether this is your first conviction or you have been in trouble with theft in the past, it is important to have someone who is on your side and can provide a great defense. Finding a good criminal defense lawyer in Kansas is the best way to ensure that you are defended in court and that you get the best possible outcome for your crime.
