Michigan Criminal Defense Firm Gets Client’s Felony Embezzlement Charges Dismissed

March 16, 2012 - PRLog -- The Law Offices of Freedman & Freedman, a Michigan criminal defense firm recently represented a client who was facing felony charges for embezzlement in Wayne County, Michigan. The charge was for embezzlement by agent, servant or trustee, where the money or personal property embezzled was allegedly valued from $1,000 or more but less than $20,000.

The punishment for the above offense would have been up to 5 years in prison or a fine of not more than $10,000 or 3 times the value of the money or property embezzled, whichever is greater, or both imprisonment and a fine.

Despite overwhelming evidence implicating their client, the attorneys from Freedman & Freedman were successful in negotiating with the state prosecutor a complete dismissal of the charge against their client and only a nominal restitution to the alleged victim in the case. This was a major success for the client who was able to avoid thousands of dollars in monetary fines and imprisonment.

The state of Michigan has some of the harshest laws when it comes to embezzlement. On average, there are more than 3,900 reported embezzlement cases each year in the state of Michigan. In a recent embezzlement case, a bank employee was sentenced by a judge to 33 months in prison and was ordered to pay more than $641,000 in restitution.
