Re: embezzelement

You are looking at embezzlement/grand theft with a maximum of three years in state prison. Likely to get probation, with or without time in county jail, if this is first time offense. With a good lawyer and a little luck you might be able to keep your record clean of any theft related felony. Perhaps your case can be beaten altogether.

Feel free to contact my office if you are looking to hire a lawyer in Southern California.
