Embezzlement Attorneys

Representing Clients Nationwide

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.
