Corona Embezzlement Defense Lawyer

Getting Your Case Resolved

Embezzlement is included within the Penal Codes dealing with theft crimes.  When an individual has been trusted with property which they then take in an illegal manner, this is considered embezzlement.  It occurs most frequently in employment situations where an employee has legal access or possession of specific property which they then steal.  The important difference between theft and embezzlement is that the person was "entrusted" with the property before it was taken.  An experienced Corona criminal defense attorney can explain the charges you face and what must be done to obtain a favorable resolution to your case.

Prosecutors must show that there was a relationship of trust between yourself and the alleged victim in order for an embezzlement charge to be proven.  In addition, they must prove that as part of the relationship you were trusted with specific property, and you factually intended to take the property in an illegal manner.  With our proven success at trials, all of these elements can be hard for prosecutors to fully convince a judge or jury of.

You can be charged with multiple offenses if there were repeated acts of embezzlement over a length of time.  The consequences of conviction can be court ordered counseling, restitution, fines, probation and a lengthy sentence for jail or prison time.  Being convicted can change the course of your life for the worse and greatly affect the lives of your loved ones.
