California Embezzlement Defense Attorneys for the LGBT Community

Embezzlement Information

According to California Penal Code 503, the term embezzlement signifies misappropriation of another party’s funds (money or property) by a trusted individual and continuing to conceal the fact that he or she converted those funds for his or her personal gain. If you have been accused of embezzlement, contact Pride Legal’s network of LGBT and LGBT-friendly Embezzlement Defense Attorneys today. To protect your rights, hire someone who understands them.

It is important to note that embezzlement differs from larceny in the fact that in larceny cases, the property of another individual is taken away with no intent of returning it. Embezzlement, on the other hand, entails an individual who has lawfully possessed the property before he or she has misappropriated the property.

Penalties for Embezzlement in California

Prosecution against an individual who has committed embezzlement can vary based on whether the criminal has embezzled small or large amounts of funds. Specifically, embezzlement is deemed a white-collar crime in California and can be charged as a misdemeanor or felony.

It is common that although an individual was not directly involved in the act of embezzlement, he or she may still be identified as helping the embezzlement solely by being present or being informed about the organization or company. Additionally, consequences for embezzlement can range in severity based on the extent of the accused embezzlement as well as the person’s intent. If the accused pleads guilty and accepts culpability, the court may assign probation and community service and minimize his or her prison sentence.
