An Experienced, Aggressive Defense Against Unlawful Use

A conviction for unlawful use of a vehicle could result in a two-year prison sentence and probation lasting as many as five years. While the penalties are not as serious as they are for the unlawful driving away of an automobile (UDAA), it is important to have an attorney on your side who is capable of defeating each element of the prosecution's case against you to protect your rights.

Specifically, the prosecution must prove beyond reasonable doubt that the vehicle in question belonged to someone else, that you actually used the vehicle, you did not have the owner's authority to use the vehicle, and that you used the vehicle while knowing you lacked the proper authority.
