Embezzlement
Facing embezzlement charges can be terrifying and stressful because so many parties are potentially involved when embezzlement allegations are made. There is the employer, the police, the government, and maybe friends and family. Those accused of embezzlement frequently do not know where to turn or what to do. They either have been falsely accused, or they made a terrible mistake and just want the whole ordeal over with.
Embezzlement can take the form of theft, falsification of documents, or misappropriation of funds or company assets. The charges can be state or federal, depending on the extent, and the offense can involve a few hundred or millions of dollars.
