Do I Need an Embezzlement Attorney?

Embezzlement is a white collar crime that involves the misappropriation of funds by an employee of a business or organization. It is a form of theft that is an explicit betrayal of an employer's trust; embezzlement occurs when a person who has access to the funds misuses those funds or appropriates them for personal use. Embezzlement not only applies to taking cash, but also to taking company property or using it for personal reasons not allowed by company policy. Embezzlement cases are typically handled by state courts, but in cases where the defendant is employed by the federal government or by an organization receiving federal funds, embezzlement may be prosecuted in federal court.

Misappropriation of federal funds is a serious offense. If you are suspected of embezzling or if you have been formally charged with embezzlement, it is important to consult a federal embezzlement attorney as soon as possible. Take a proactive approach to your defense by hiring experienced legal counsel.
