Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

You should seek counsel from a criminal defense attorney before doing anything. A confession could be used against you in court on embezzlement or other criminal charges, and in civil court for damages.

A little free advice if not already too late: exercise the 5th Amendment right to SHUT UP and do NOT talk to police or ANYONE about the case except with and through an attorney.

When charged with any crime, the proper questions are, can any evidence obtained be used against you or can it be suppressed, can you be convicted, and what can you do? While this isn't a 'capital case', it certainly carries potential �time�, so handle it right.

If serious about hiring counsel to help in this, and if this is in SoCal courts, feel free to contact me. I�ll be happy to help fight and get the best outcome possible, using whatever defenses and sympathies there may be. I�ve been doing these cases for many years. It may be possible to negotiate a prompt settlement that avoids criminal and civil charges. They may just want to get rid of you without hassle.

I agree with Mr. Nelson. Furthermore do not make any admissions or discuss the facts of the case on line. Such admissions can be used against you in court. If a police report has been made or will be made it will be the DA, not your employer who will make the decision whether or not to prosecute.
