Embezzlement

Embezzlement Lawyer- Massachusetts
White Collar Crime Defense- Massachusetts

Embezzlement is a charge that is similar to larceny, but it means that you had legitimate or legal access to the funds or goods that you are now accused of embezzling. The typical case involves an employee or trustee who had access to certain financial accounts, as opposed to a person charged with larceny who never had legal access to the funds or goods in the first place. There are several potential defenses to an embezzlement charge, the most common being that an honest mistake was made. A skilled defense attorney may be able to work out a deal involving the dismissal of all criminal charges in exchange for full restitution of payment to the alleged victim.

Embezzlement of property valued over $250 carries the following potential penalties:

  • Up to 5 years in state prison and $25,000 fine (felony)

Client Reviews
★★★★★
"Ben Urbelis recently represented me in an OUI case in which I had crashed my car. I honestly did not believe I had any chance of beating it, but fortunately for me Ben was outstanding and all charges were dropped. In my first hearing he was calm, assertive and straight to the point. I was extremely impressed and satisfied. I left my hearing feeling confident that I had made the right choice of hiring him. I am positive I would have lost this case and walked away with an OUI if I hadn't. I am very happy with how he handled my case and how reassured I felt having him as my lawyer." MC

"When I found myself charged with my 3rd DUI I was certain without a doubt that I was facing 6 months to 2 1/2 years in state prison. I can’t believe you were able to guide me calmly through the whole nerve wracking process, never sugar coating anything, staying honest and always keeping me informed the whole time. I still can’t believe that in the end you pulled off a miracle to avoidany jail time. I would recommend you to anyone in the same situation. Thank you so much. You saved me.” JL
