Embezzlement and White Collar Crimes

Embezzlement is considered a white collar crime in California and can carry extremely severe penalties. Many white collar crimes, including embezzlement involve those who are in positions of responsibility with access to funds in a variety of ways. Embezzlement is considered the crime of fraudulently taking money or property from a business or employer.  Embezzlement crimes vary from minor, isolated incidents to large corporate schemes that involve millions of dollars.

A full review of the case and the evidence that has led to your arrest should be undertaken by an attorney from Hanson, Gorian & Bradford at once.

For an individual to be charged with embezzlement there must be proof that the property or money embezzled was not his or her original property. Embezzlement crimes include trespass of property, which means the embezzler did not have the right to possess the property in question. Embezzlement is a form of theft, and in some cases, fraud . It is sometimes in connection with a money laundering charge.

In the past, courts generally did not penalize embezzlement crimes harshly. Currently, however, white collar crimes have cost the economy a devastating financial loss. In an already struggling economy, white collar crimes are now treated more seriously than ever before.

If you are convicted of embezzlement, you may be subject to life-altering legal consequences including facing federal prison, home detention, community service, restitution, monetary fines, and costs of prosecution.  Aside from financial repayment, a convicted individual could be subjected to a lengthy term behind bars in federal prison in some cases. Your best protection against these serious penalties is a highly skilled and experienced white collar crimes attorney.
