State v. T.W.

Charge: Grand Theft (3rd Degree Felony)
Palm Beach County
November 2025
state
Worst Case Scenario:
Up to 5 years prison on a third-degree felony conviction with a permanent record — plus civil exposure for the full amount stolen
Actual Results:
Adjudication withheld — no felony conviction, no jail time

Arrested For:

Grand Theft (3rd Degree Felony) — 24 unauthorized electronic transfers from a victim's business bank account totaling $2,020, all routed to the client's personal accounts

What Was Done:

The victim reported that following the end of a two-year relationship, the client made 24 unauthorized withdrawals from her company's JP Morgan Chase account over several months. Investigators subpoenaed records from both banks and confirmed the transactions matched exactly. A warrant was issued for the client's arrest.

Unique Approach:

Before the warrant was executed, counsel arranged for the client to appear voluntarily at the Delray Beach Police Department for a recorded interview, with counsel present throughout. This proactive approach shaped how law enforcement and the State perceived the case from the outset. The matter ultimately resolved with adjudication withheld — no felony conviction, no incarceration. The client walked away on probation with the ability to pay restitution and avoid a permanent felony record.
