Los Angeles Embezzlement Defense Attorney

Embezzlement Crimes Defense

During my 25 years as a Los Angeles criminal defense attorney, I’ve defended many people charged with embezzlement and other "white collar" crimes.

Bookkeeping and Accounting Crimes

In these challenging economic times, it is very tempting for bookkeepers, accountants and other trusted financial professionals to attempt to provide for their families in ways that may be against the law. This does not make you a bad person - people in extreme circumstances do extreme things.

If you are in this situation, you need the help of an experienced attorney who will fight for you and make sure your Constitutional Rights are protected and that your punishment, if any, is minimized.

Why is Embezzlement Considered a White Collar Crime?

“White collar” crimes are usually non-violent acts by people hoping for financial gain. The non-violent aspect of white collar crime does not lessen the seriousness of the charges, but it should be a consideration when the judge or jury is deciding whether to send someone to prison.

Embezzlement is a serious crime and, if you are convicted, carries with it some stiff criminal penalties.

The fact is, these are usually good people who got in over their heads. They’re not bad people, they’re just people with a financial problem. They made bad choices. If they took someone’s money, then we need to make a plan for the money to be paid back, so there is no jail time. Putting someone in prison for years for this type of crime rarely makes sense. What we need to do is help them fix their mistake, so they get their lives back on track and start being productive citizens again.

I Know How to Help You Fight for Your Freedom

I can’t promise you that I will win your case, or that I will get your case dismissed. No lawyer can. What I will do is tell you WHAT I plan to do, and HOW I plan to fight for you. That’s the difference between me and most other lawyers.

How I Will Defend You Against These Charges

I dissect every last part of the prosecution’s evidence against my client. I look everywhere. I leave no stone unturned. And I prepare, by reviewing the case over and over. So that when the crucial moment comes and I have to cross-examine an important witness in the courtroom, I’m ready. I know what questions to ask, because I’ve already thought about it. I know how to ask them, because I’ve been doing this for more than 25 years. And it works.

I make sure than the judge or the jury doesn’t just see a criminal when they look at my client. I get character references, I talk to the client’s family, friends and co-workers, I talk to anyone who can help me complete the real picture of my client. So when the time comes for the judge or jury to make a decision, to decide whether you go to jail, whether you get a reduced sentence, whether you get probation, you’ll know that you’re getting the fairest and most favorable result possible. I know how to handle these cases so that the RIGHT results happen.
