Where do I file a theft by deception claim?
I partnered on a real estate deal with someone to oversee a renovation project. While they took the money, no renovations were made. Would like to file theft by deception or conversion claim. What is the first step?

For you to make a report about a theft matter involving you, there are two option. First contact your local law enforcement to file a police report about the matter. Or, you can go down to your county's district attorney's office and file a report about the incident there.
Since it appears that you have been defrauded and fraud is also a civil action, you might consider consulting with an attorney in your community about what transpired in order to look into whether or not a civil action would be appropriate under the circumstances.
Good luck.
