Vandalism

Keeping the damage in perspective.

Vandalism is the purposeful destruction of property by means of graffiti, inscription, cutting, breaking or any other means of defamation. Vandalism crimes include destruction or damage to vehicles, signs, cemeteries or other property. Vandalism can be charged as either a misdemeanor or felony.

At Kardon Law, we thoroughly investigate the facts surrounding the incident, including obtaining the statements of any witnesses, and then prepare a presentation packet for the prosecution that seeks either a dismissal of the case, a reduction in the charges or a significantly reduced sentence. We know firsthand that most incidents of vandalism are not indicative of a greater criminal propensity – and are often simply expressions of angst, anger or disenfranchisement. We work hard to make sure the consequences don’t outweigh the crime.

If you have been charged with vandalism, please contact us for a consultation.
