Like many other states, Tennessee classifies and punishes theft crimes based on the value of the property that was stolen. Individuals who steal more valuable property will be punished more severely. Just as there are a number of theft crimes, there are different types of auto theft crimes that can be committed.
An individual may be found guilty of committing the following types of auto theft:
Carjacking is defined as taking someone else's vehicle away from them through the use of force, intimidation, or with a deadly weapon.
Failing to return a rental car occurs when an individual does not return the rental car at the end of their rental agreement period.
Joyriding is committed when an individual takes another person's car without their permission. Joyriding is different than a typical theft crime, because the person who takes the vehicle intends to return it.
Because the punishment for an auto conviction is a reflection of the severity of the crime committed, it can be highly beneficial to have a team by your side that has extensive knowledge in auto theft defense.

“Mr. Fanduzz is committed to nothing but the BEST outcome for his clients.”
Nearly two years ago, I was charged with DUI and Speeding. Due to my occupation, a conviction could be detrimental to my career. I contacted Mr. Fanduzz and he was able to have my case placed on Judicial Diversion, which required me to serve only one year supervised probation (reduced from two years) and court cost. I retained my drivers license and did not have to purchase expensive car insurance.
Unfortunately, while on probation, I was charged with two counts of assault and aggravated assault. Along with these new charges, I also faced violation of my probation and the original DUI. All charges were considered Felonies at this point. There was no hesitation in hiring him to represent me again. Mr. Fanduzz not only kept me well informed, he also skillfully and agressively argued on my behalf. He arranged for my probation and judicial diversion to be reinstated and the felony assault charges to be dismissed in exchange for a plea to a misdemeanor offence.
Needless to say, I highly recommend Mr. Fanduzz because of his attention to detail and commitment to have the BEST possible outcome for his clients.
