San Jose False Billing Attorneys

Virtually all transactions for goods and services require an element of trust. Customers and clients expect that the charges they are asked to pay are properly reflective of the item purchased or services performed. False billing is a form of embezzlement which refers to fraudulently requesting money for a company’s goods or services for improper personal financial gain.

If you have been accused of perpetrating fraudulent billing practices, the consequences of a conviction could be rather severe. In addition to sentencing, your reputation might be irreparably harmed.

Consequences of a False Billing Conviction

In complicated business transactions, even the most competent and well-intentioned professional might inadvertently commit an error that gives the impression of impropriety. This is especially problematic for individuals whose positions place them in direct control of sensitive financial records, because these mistakes might be misinterpreted as an effort to manipulate records and charges to position one’s self to obtain additional and inappropriate financial compensation.

Sentencing for convictions on false billing charges is determined in part by the amount of financial damage incurred during the commission of the crime. Incarceration may be ordered for up to 20 years in particularly egregious cases. Moreover, an embezzler who is convicted of false billing charges will likely be ordered to repay the money lost by others.
