Dallas Embezzlement Attorney
Embezzlement Defense in Dallas, Texas
Embezzlement is a theft crime that is committed when a person takes money or material items that were entrusted in his/her care, but do not belong to him/her. For example, if a business person utilizes company finds for illegitimate purposes and does not intend to pay the money back, he/she may be charged with embezzlement. Anytime an employee steals from his/her employer, it is categorized as embezzlement, which is a serious fraudulent offense.
Embezzlement is both a theft crime and a white collar crime, which means that people who have been charged with this criminal offense usually commit the crime in a business environment, such as a bank. After a person has been charged with embezzlement, he/she will most likely have to go through the criminal trial experience if he/she is unable to reach a plea arrangement with prosecutors. If the person is convicted of embezzlement, he/she could have to spend time in jail, pay restitution, pay fines or be placed on probation.
