If you've been charged with theft, embezzlement or possession of stolen property, it goes without saying that the situation is serious. All of these charges may be filed as a misdemeanor or a felony.
There are two types of theft. Petty theft is a misdemeanor theft of money or personal property with a value of less than $950. Grand theft is felony theft where the value of what has been taken is greater than $950. Likewise the amount embezzled and the value of the stolen property determine whether the charge will be a misdemeanor or a felony.
Bookkeepers, accountants, sales people and others who are charged with embezzlement face two unsettling prospects. In the short run, the prospect of receiving a felony conviction and going to state prison is immensely unnerving. In the long run, you may have your professional license revoked and your livelihood placed in jeopardy. When the stakes are this high, it's important to look toward an experienced theft and embezzlement attorney who has the comprehensive knowledge to fully examine your case and aggressively defend against the charges.
To properly defend such cases, it is essential that you contact an attorney to discuss your side of the story, investigate what evidence the prosecution has against you and analyze the case to prepare the best possible defense.
