    Embezzlement Defense Attorney

    Trusted embezzlement lawyers serving Fairfax, VA and surrounding areas

    Embezzlement is a specific type of white collar theft crime. Generally, it involves allegations of theft by an employee or by another person who was put into a position of ‘trust’. The Commonwealth of Virginia has very strict embezzlement laws — if you are accused of stealing more than $200 in money or property, you could face a felony embezzlement charge that carries substantial jail time. It is critical that you seek out a Fairfax, VA Embezzlement Attorney.

    At Leary Law, our skilled Virginia Fairfax VA Embezzlement Attorney offers strong and sophisticated legal representation to our clients. We understand the inherent complexity of white collar crime charges, including embezzlement cases. If you or your family member is facing felony or misdemeanor embezzlement charges in Northern Virginia, immediate action is essential. Contact our Fairfax office or Manassas office today to schedule a fully confidential initial consultation.

    Virginia Law: Embezzlement Charges

    Under Virginia law (Code of Virginia § 18.2-111), embezzlement is defined as the wrongful or fraudulent use of money, assets, or other property of value that was entrusted to the defendant. Generally, embezzlement charges involve allegations against an employee. Though, these charges can also be filed against other parties who were placed in a privileged position by the alleged victim. Embezzlement charges will fit into one of the following two categories: 

    • Misdemeanor Embezzlement: If you are accused of taking money or property that is valued at less than $200, you could face misdemeanor embezzlement charges. While certainly not as serious as a felony offense, misdemeanor embezzlement is still punishable by up to 12 months in prison.
    • Felony Embezzlement: In Virginia, using a position of trust to unlawfully take money or property that is worth more than $200 could lead to felony embezzlement charges. This is a very serious criminal offense. Even though $200 is a relatively modest threshold, felony embezzlement is still subject to a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.

    Why Choose the Embezzlement Defense Attorneys at Leary Law

    Embezzlement charges are extremely serious. Not only could an embezzlement accusation destroy your career and your professional reputation, it could result in you having a permanent criminal record and even you losing your freedom.
