How Does One Exert Unauthorized Control Over Property?
Experienced criminal defense lawyers in Baltimore, Attorney Eric T. Kirk MD are well aware the State can prove a theft by showing a defendant exerted control over property without permission. The omnibus theft statues gives us a non-exclusive list of how one may exert control over property. Included are things such as:
- selling
- conveying, or
- transferring title
When done with or to the property of to the property of another, without permission, this may well suffice as proof of unauthorized control, and establish criminal responsibility. People have control of the property of another all the time: a valet, storage unit, electronic items sent in for repair are all examples. In each of those instances, the owner has given permission for another to temporarily control their property. The requisite criminal intent is missing.

For over three decades, I have battled against the nation’s largest insurance companies, always endeavoring to ensure my clients receive the compensation they deserve. As lead counsel in thousands of cases across Maryland, New York, and Florida, I have recovered millions for clients whose claims were wrongfully denied and delayed. Whether denying fair compensation for a personal injury victim or denying benefits to a homeowner, Insurance companies employ policy exclusions, technicalities, and lowball offers to deny and defeat claims. They also hire very good lawyers to fight you in court. So should you. When an insurance company unfairly rejects a claim, I stop them.
