Embezzlement is stealing from your employer. This can be a complex and difficult to prove crime. Often an employer attempts to illegally withhold wages of a person accused of employee theft. Employees have rights. We have extensive experience in this area.
Frequently, an employer will exaggerate the loss. Insurance can be a factor.
If money is owed the employer, we can negotiate a payment schedule and avoid jail. We negotiate restitution agreements as an important part of probation. A working person is much better able to make right any alleged wrongs than someone in prison. These types of felony charges can be reduced to a misdemeanor.
