Embezzlement

Criminal Embezzlement

Embezzlement is a white-collar crime that often occurs in a corporate setting. The criminal defense attorneys at Tully Rinckey PLLC are experienced in handling embezzlement charges. We serve the Capital District area including Albany, Saratoga, Schenectady, and Troy.

It involves the theft of money or property by an individual who was entrusted to handle assets by other individuals.  Embezzlement is usually extremely complex, due to the access that the accused had to the property, as well as the potential for simple oversights or errors in accounting or bookkeeping.

A conviction for embezzlement can result in severe consequences, which may include:

  • Prison time, up to a life sentence without parole
  • Severe fines and/or restitution paid to victims
  • Loss of professional or other licenses

After a person has been charged with embezzlement, the smartest thing to do is consult with an experienced criminal defense attorney.  An attorney will guarantee that their rights are protected.  A knowledgeable criminal defense attorney can evaluate the case and advise on the best course of action.  In many cases, the charges can be reduced or even dismissed.

At Tully Rinckey, we have defended numerous embezzlement cases.  The best defense is an experienced legal team, and we have the experience that counts.  Our team consists of a former United States Prosecutor, a former County Court Judge, and a former Assistant District Attorney/Bureau Chief.  Put them to work for you!

Please call us immediately if you or someone you know has been charged with embezzlement or a related crime. You can reach us at 1-888-529-4543 or after hours for emergency legal service at 518-727-3593. You can reach us by e-mail at info@tullylegal.com.
