Embezzlement Charges
Embezzlement is a type of white collar crime involving the misappropriation of assets. In these situations, one person is placed in a position of trust and they typically abuse that position by misusing the property they have been entrusted with. Individuals who are charged with embezzlement may be investigated for taking money, inventory, or other supplies. The individuals who are accused of embezzlement typically have access to bank account information or petty cash.
If you or someone close to you is under investigation for embezzlement or has already been charged with embezzlement, it is vital that you retain representation from a defense attorney. Embezzlement charges have the potential to cripple your career, and even those individuals cleared of charges can have a difficult time professionally after their case has been resolved. You will need a Scranton & Wilkes-Barre white collar crimes lawyer to do damage control and minimize the effects of these charges in your life.

A conviction for embezzlement could mean time in prison, victim restitution, probation, losing your right to be bonded, court-ordered counseling, and large fines.

Embezzlement sentences will also be based upon the defendant’s criminal record, and individuals with previous white collar crime convictions on their records will face worse penalties than first time offenders.
