Defending Embezzlement Employee Theft Charges
Though employee theft very rarely involves violent crime, an individual convicted of these charges will still likely face severe penalties. As with other kinds of theft, the severity of the punishments issued during sentencing will be influenced by a number of factors, including the dollar value of the theft, the defendant’s past record, and other considerations. The following are some of the possible forms of punishment that you might face:
- Incarceration
- Counseling
- Probation
- Court-ordered restitution
- Loss of professional licensure
A guilty verdict may even destroy your reputation. Therefore, if you have been accused of this crime, it is important to speak to a criminal defense attorney immediately. A free consultation soon after the accusation has been made might prevent you from divulging any self-incriminating or unnecessary information to the authorities.
