ACCUSED OF COMMITTING THEFT, FRAUD OR EMBEZZLEMENT?
Attorney Ryan Russman is uniquely successful in defending clients charged with theft, fraud and embezzlement.
Of cases involving the workplace, embezzlement is the most common.
Embezzlement occurs when someone takes property or money that they are only in possession of because of their job. In its simplest terms, embezzlement is stealing from one's place of employment.
Embezzlement is fraud committed against an employer by an employee who uses his or her specific knowledge of the company's operations to illegally profit.
Charges of embezzlement will be filed when:
- A company-issued credit card is used for personal use
- Payments made to the company are intercepted by an individual
- Ledgers are adjusted to hide money stolen
- Small amounts of cash or property are stolen from the company over time
- Large amounts of cash or property are stolen from the company all at once
In New Hampshire, you can be charged with embezzlement for any amount of cash or property taken from your employer, who may move to recover the funds by garnishing your wages -- even before you've been convicted.
A thorough audit will be conducted to determine how much cash and property has been stolen. If accused, your bank accounts and personal belongings will be searched for evidence, as well as all company records.
You can be charged with a Class A Felony if the amount embezzled is more than $1,000. If convicted of felony embezzlement charges, you could be facing up to 15 years in prison – more if you have a criminal record or previous conviction.
