Re: outcome to a 3330.000.00 fraud allegation

I'm going to assume that you mean $3300.00 (thirty three hundred dollars), and if it's more than that amount, the answer is the same. Yes, it's possible that a person convicted of embezzling $3300.00 could go to jail, even tho that person had no priors. (If it's thirty three thousand dollars, then that's "yes," as well.) But, there are many issues other than the ultimate penalty that need to be examined in order to determine whether or not this person will be convicted at all. He or she should consult with

an experienced criminal lawyer immediately. If he or she would like to talk to me, I'd be happy to provide a free consultation. Steve Mandell 310 393 0639. Good luck.

Penalty for Fraud

In Maryland, the penalty can be up to 15 years. Don't play around with this, see a criminal lawyer, like myself now. Certain discovery and motions should be filed immediately. The question is not was the crime committed, but can the State prove it. See a lawyer now.

Of course jail is possible. Get a good attorney to help you maximize the chances of acquittal or favorable negotiated deal without jail time. Contact me if interested in doing so.
