Defending Against Theft and Property Crimes – Kohn & Yager’s Tactical Advocacy

Theft and property crimes in Georgia encompass a wide range of offenses—from minor shoplifting to complex fraud and burglary. While some may view these charges as less serious than violent crimes, the legal consequences can be severe. Convictions can result in jail time, fines, restitution, and a permanent criminal record that affects employment and housing opportunities. That’s why the defense strategy matters—and Kohn & Yager have proven time and again that their tactical advocacy can make all the difference.

The firm’s approach to theft-related cases is rooted in thorough investigation and strategic planning. They understand that many property crimes are charged based on circumstantial evidence, unreliable witness accounts, or surveillance footage that lacks context. Their first priority is to challenge the prosecution’s narrative and uncover the full story behind the accusation.

Larry Kohn is particularly adept at handling cases involving shoplifting and petty theft. He often finds that these charges stem from misunderstandings or overzealous store security practices. Kohn carefully reviews store policies, surveillance footage, and witness statements to identify inconsistencies. His calm, detail-oriented style allows him to present a compelling defense that often leads to reduced charges or case dismissals.

Cory Yager, with his law enforcement background, brings a sharp eye to burglary and fraud cases. He understands how police investigate these crimes and where procedural errors often occur. Yager frequently challenges the legality of searches, the accuracy of forensic evidence, and the credibility of informants. His ability to dissect investigative reports and expose flaws in the prosecution’s case is a major asset in complex property crime litigation.

Bubba Head takes the lead in high-stakes cases involving embezzlement, identity theft, and financial fraud. With decades of experience in criminal defense, Head is known for his aggressive courtroom style and deep understanding of Georgia’s theft statutes. He’s particularly skilled at negotiating with prosecutors and crafting defense strategies that minimize exposure to harsh penalties. In cases where trial is necessary, Head’s commanding presence and persuasive arguments often sway juries in favor of the defense.

Kohn & Yager also explore alternative resolutions when appropriate. For first-time offenders or cases involving low-value theft, they may pursue diversion programs, pretrial intervention, or conditional discharge. These options can help clients avoid a criminal record and move forward with their lives. The firm’s commitment to rehabilitation and second chances reflects their belief that one mistake shouldn’t define a person’s future.

In Georgia, theft and property crimes are prosecuted with intensity. But with Kohn & Yager, clients gain a defense team that’s not only legally skilled but also deeply invested in their well-being. Their tactical advocacy, combined with a compassionate approach, makes them one of Atlanta’s most trusted criminal defense firms.
