Embezzlement Charge Lawyers

Embezzlement is a type of fraud involving theft of money from a business or person. In most embezzlement charge cases the key component to the case is that the defendant was unauthorized to use or have the money in question. Employers trust employees with sensitive financial and other data regularly and most embezzlement cases have their origin in violation of this trust. The charge of Embezzlement can also involve credit card and other financial data used by a person to extract amounts of money or credit without authorization. An embezzlement charge is a criminal charge, though in some cases a person may be sued for damages in civil court as well.
