More details to this question:
The owner of the building of my old company let me in the building that had been vacated by my old boss. While there I grabbed some paper work pertaining to the financials of my old company to do some research because said employer owes me $48,000.00. He has now filed a larcany charge against me. Does he have a case and do I need a lawyer

It sounds as if they have a strong case against you. You took things that you knew were not yours to take. You will need a lawyer. Hire one, or get one appointed if you are indigent. If he owes you that much money, you may be able to get off without a conviction by showing that what you took was worth much less than you are owed. Good luck.

The advice given here, does not establish an attorney-client relationship.
Have charges and an arrest warrant been issued? If so, you will definitely want a criminal defense attorney representing you. Theft-related convictions can have a huge impact on your life with respect to finding and maintaining employment, and even housing. Not to mention the possibility of incarceration, fines, court costs, probation and community service.
