What Is Theft?

Theft in New Jersey is based on a three-part definition. For a conviction, the state must prove all three elements beyond a reasonable doubt:

  1. That defendant knowingly took or unlawfully exercised control over property;
  2. That the property belonged to another;
  3. That defendant’s purpose was to deprive the other person of the property.

Determining the category and severity of a theft depends on what type of property was taken, combined with the property’s worth. 

  • Disorderly Persons Theft (Up to 6 months in jail)

Disorderly persons theft (the least severe) applies if the stolen property is valued at less than $200. 

  • Fourth Degree Theft (Up to 18 months in prison)

Fourth degree theft applies if the stolen property has a value of at least $200, but does not exceed $500. 

  • Third Degree Theft (Up to 5 years in prison)

Third degree theft applies if the value of the stolen property exceeds $500, but is less than $75,000.

  • Second Degree Theft (Up to 10 years in prison)

Second degree theft applies if the value of the stolen property is $75,000 or more.

Mr Sisto is an excellent lawyer. The tickets I received were nothing compared to the charges i had originally. I got the best possible outcome for my case, and Mr Sisto was incredibly understanding and patient and responded to any questions I had within about 30 minutes of me asking them. I'll be going to him again for any legal trouble I have in the future

Hired Mr.Sisto to handle a case of mine a couple of months ago and while the service was okay the customer service was awful. When I had inquired about a charge I was unsure of on my bill, Mr. Sisto immediately got defensive and had the unprofessionalism to ask me if I “was high” for asking this question. I wonder if Mr. Sisto asks all of his clients this question or only the ones who have jobs in the cannabis industry? Regardless, I don’t believe this was an appropriate question to ask, regardless of the industry one works in, and therefore Mr. Sisto needs to heavily work on his customer service. Edit: Mr. Sisto had the UNPROFESSIONALISM to reach out to my family and ask them to ask me to take down my review instead of reaching out directly towards me when it was I who was his client, not my family. Clearly speaks to the unprofessionalism surrounding this practice. This has not been the only time Mr.Sisto has gone directly to my family instead of me, his client, for important legal matters and I will not seek out his services again. For those who may not understand Spanish, the email starts with “You should speak to your daughter regarding the review she has just published.” Edit to Response: As an attorney, one should be able to make appropriate questions and comments regardless if a client is “uncooperative” or “disrespectful.” The fact that rather than apologizing for the awful interaction with your firm, and I was not released “within hours” as you claim shows how low value your firm is and how you openly instead chose to harass my family through email for my initial review rather than actually revomy case which I ended up doing and you chareged me for . Regardless of results, your character speaks volumes and anyone who reads this would know better than to give their money to an awful person such as yourself. What a shame

Realmente es un gran abogado, me ayudo muchísimo en todo este proceso y sobre todo que habla español que es una de las cosas importantes para mi. Por que lo hizo mas entendible y facil cada una de las cosas que tenía que hacer y su amabilidad y paciencia para poder explicarme qué tenía que hacer. Además que mi caso fue un éxito gracias a él ya cada uno de sus conocimientos y a su apoyo en todo momento. Lo recomiendo 100%.
