Embezzlement/fraud is the abuse of confidence or trust in a relationship between two people during which one party steals funds or properties which have been entrusted to them by the other party. Embezzlement or fraud charges often involve the allegation that an employee took company money during the performance of his or her job. These charges can range in severity from the stealing of cash from a company’s register to a corporate executive rerouting funds from the company’s bank accounts to his or her own private account.The major difference between embezzlement and larceny or theft is that the accused embezzler is entrusted with the control of the money or property that allegedly was stolen. Embezzlement may also involve intricate cover-up strategies designed to divert accountability if the primary offender or offenders are caught.As a client of The Cochran Firm, our embezzlement defense lawyers will use every tool at our disposal to represent you to prove your innocence, reduce the charges against you or to reduce the ultimate sentence in your embezzlement case.The Cochran Firm Criminal Attorneys have a nationwide track record of success in white collar criminal defense cases and we will fight to prove your innocence.
