Jacksonville Property Crime Attorneys
Burglary, Larceny, Motor Vehicle Theft, Shoplifting, Criminal Mischief, Arson
In the world of criminal behavior, there are different types of crimes. The main categories of crime include offenses against people (e.g. violent crimes), inchoate crimes (“attempts”), statutory crimes (e.g. alcohol-related crimes, drug crimes, traffic offenses, and white collar crimes), financially-motivated crimes, and crimes against property.
As the name suggests, “property crime” generally involves damaging or destroying someone else’s property. Although damaging someone else’s property may cause the property owner to experience strong, negative emotions and significant mental harm as a result of losing enjoyment or use of their property, or losing the money they spent on it, property crime does not typically involve an act of violence toward the owner of the property.
As such, most property crimes are also categorized as theft crimes, including:
- Burglary
- Larceny
- Motor Vehicle theft
- Shoplifting
- Arson
- Criminal Mischief
“The object of the theft-type offenses is the taking of money or property, but there is no force or threat of force against the victims. The property crime category includes arson because the offense involves the destruction of property; however, arson victims may be subjected to force,” according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) page on property crime.

I first met Jason Porter in 2003, when our children attended a Christian Preschool together. I saw what he did within our community. He helped many of the families from the preschool over the years so when it came time that my family needed a lawyer I chose him. Jason has helped my family and several of my personal friends, all with positive outcomes. He is a seasoned professional that is respected within the law community. You will be treated with the utmost respect and compassion. I don't know another lawyer of his caliber that offers free consultations and you speak to him personally. Pick Porter.

Mr. Porter helped me in 2010 with a Breach of Contract case in which he was able to recover my earned commissions from my former employer. Mr. Porter was very friendly and knowledgeable in the area of Non Compete agreements which allowed for a quick settlement from my former employer. The staff was great and addressed my issues and questions in a timely fashion. I would recommend Mr. Porter to anyone that has a case in the areas he practices in.- John

Mr. Richard Watson was recommended to me by a friend after I was in a car accident. With no prior experience with auto accidents in Florida, I had to learn about PIP, settling with the at-fault driver's insurance company, working with my own health insurance company, and the subrogation process. Mr. Watson was responsive and professional, he offered guidance that assured me I understood each step of the process and was diligent about communication at each step. I am grateful to have received such a terrific recommendation, and I'm happy to have met Mr. Watson. I highly recommend him and the Porter firm.- Kally M.

Many times when you meet attorneys to represent you, there are thoughts that reside in the back of your head...some good and some bad. "Are these guys REALLY going to help me," or "do they REALLY have my best interest," or "can I really trust them?" Those are the many thoughts, plus more, that I had--it did go away after my first initial visit with one of the attorney's at Jason's Porter's law office. For my case, I worked with two different attorneys which included Jason Porter himself. Both of those guys were with me 100% from the beginning, in court, after court, late in the evening by phone calls, text, and emails, it was a great experience. What was consistent and what I valued most is that I got to know both of them, what they like to do in their personal time with family, which felt like I could communicate openly and honestly. My case was a criminal case and because of them, I do not have to be viewed as a criminal. I want to share and express my gratitude for how they have helped me so others can choose Jason Porter.- JW
