Criminal Defense in Cases of Embezzlement, Fraud and Business Theft
San Francisco, California Attorney for Federal Offenses
Fraud crimes such as embezzlement, business theft or other forms of fraud are defined in most cases as the theft of financial resources by a person who has the responsibility to take care of those assets. In the basic sense, this can include everything from financial managers who have access to the recording of major financial assets, to a grocery store clerk who under reports daily sales numbers.
Charges of embezzlement, business theft and other forms of fraud are taken very seriously and are aggressively prosecuted by the United States government. A conviction of these crimes carries with it the potential for lengthy prison sentences and high fines. And even just the hint of investigation or charge of one of these crimes can have the possible consequence of public embarrassment. Federal charges like these can leave a lasting negative mark on a person's life and future potential.
