Federal and State Embezzlement Defense Attorney
Embezzlement is the fraudulent misappropriation of property or money entrusted to a person but owned by someone else.
Crimes of this nature generally involve a relationship of trust and confidence, such as an agent, fiduciary, trustee, treasurer, or attorney. For example, a clerk or cashier can embezzle money from his or her employer, a civil servant can embezzle funds from the treasury, or a pastor can embezzle funds from a church.
Embezzlement may range from the very minor, involving only a very small amount, to immense, involving very large sums and very sophisticated schemes. The degree of the offense will determine what criminal punishment you are facing.
If you, or a loved-one, are charged with embezzlement, you need an experienced and knowledgeable criminal defense attorney, since criminal punishment for embezzlement is directly related to how your case is presented. Call us today for a free consultation.
