Massachusetts Embezzlement Attorneys
Embezzlement is the unauthorized assumption of the right to ownership. The accused are usually those involved a relationship of trust and confidence, such as an agent, fiduciary, attorney, or those in executive positions. Embezzlement isn't always about the money. Some want to stop, but can't, because the stealing has become an addiction. Our attorneys may explain how you were somehow mentally incapacitated at the time of committing the embezzlement, or how you were under heavy medication and didn't realize you deposited company money into your own account.
If you have been charged with embezzlement, or any other form of employee theft, you should contact our attorneys. We will represent teenagers accused of stealing from the cash register at their summer job or after school, bookkeepers charged with adjusting records, charity workers accused of skimming off some collected money, or any other type of embezzlement scenario provided for by Massachusetts statute.
Embezzlement, just like any other theft crime, is a serious crime. A conviction may limit your educational opportunities, your employment prospects, and your ability to obtain credit or qualify for a loan. If you are not a citizen of the United States, a conviction of theft may result in your deportation, denial of naturalization, and exclusion from or denial of reentry into the United States.
If you're either facing charges, or are being investigated for embezzlement, you need experienced and aggressive defense - something our attorneys have earned the reputation for providing all over Massachusetts - whether it be on the North Shore or South Shore of Boston, Cape Cod, in Worcester or Central Massachusetts, or in Western Massachusetts, including Springfield, Pittsfield, Amherst, Northampton and surrounding areas.
Our embezzlement defense attorneys are zealous advocates in defending allegations of any wrongdoing. We pursue discovery in any embezzlement case by first filing motions ordering the District Attorney's office to turn-over any documents and evidence in the file. This allows us to see what documentary evidence the prosecution does or doesn't have, or simply hasn't pursued. Second, we conduct our own independent investigation. This allows us to offer a compelling reason why the Commonwealth should dismiss all charges or consider some reduced plea bargain to our client.
In Any Crime Situation,
You Are Presumed Innocent -
Until the Prosecution Can Prove You Guilty
Although criminal defendants, including those who have been accused of embezzlement, are innocent until proven guilty, we all know how the presumption of innocence is all but forgotten most of the time. In our media-saturated society, where people regularly watch TV shows like CSI, America's Most Wanted, and Law & Order, opinions are formed in 30 minutes or less about a person's guilt or innocence long before criminal charges are filed or a trial begins.
That doesn't happen to those being defended by the attorneys from our firm. In any embezzlement matter, we work hard to protect our client's rights. If he or she is convicted, we argue for a reasonable restitution plan that works for all involved.

A Word of Advice From Our Attorneys…
No matter how comfortable you feel if approached by law enforcement of any type, you are well-advised to invoke your Constitutional Rights. Remain silent. Don't say anything. Trained investigators will try to get you to talk and make incriminating statements. Don't do it. Anything you say can - and will - be used against you in a court of law. By talking you may incriminate yourself directly, or you may make a statement which you don't believe is incriminating, but which lends itself to negative interpretations. Talk to a lawyer first!
