Albuquerque Embezzlement Defense Lawyer

Embezzlement is any theft of money or property perpetrated by an employee, most often an employee of a business or corporation. It is classified as a white-collar crime, and will be prosecuted as such.

There are numerous types of crimes that could bring about embezzlement charges. Charging personal expenses to a business account and then editing books, is a form of embezzlement. More serious cases of embezzlement may include a higher-ranked employee such as a CEO or CFO stealing large amounts of money, even millions of dollars, from their place of employment.

When you are accused of such a crime, it is critical to have an experienced and aggressive attorney on your side.

If a person is convicted of embezzlement, they could face severe penalties including:

Stiff fines
Imprisonment
Probation
Forced payment of compensation to the employer
Loss of certain civil liberties

Having an aggressive embezzlement defense attorney can help clear your name and ensure that you face minimum the penalties.
