What Is Embezzlement?

Embezzlement is the fraudulent appropriation of property by a person to whom it has been entrusted. Embezzlement is a type of theft and is considered a felony in California. Embezzlement is often charged along with other theft-related offenses, such as theft and fraud.

Embezzlement charges are often brought against people who work in a position of trust, such as teachers, doctors, and accountants. However, anyone can be charged with embezzlement, even if they are not in a position of trust.

Embezzlement is considered a white-collar crime and is often prosecuted aggressively. If you are convicted of embezzlement, you could face thousands of dollars in fines and years of jail time. Even if you are only charged with embezzlement, you could face serious financial and professional consequences.

What Are the Penalties for Embezzlement in California?

California's embezzlement conviction penalties include:

Fines. Fines are determined on the value of the property stolen. If you are convicted of embezzlement, you could be required to pay thousands of dollars in fines.
Jail Time. Jail time is determined based on the value of the property stolen, the amount of prior convictions, and other factors. If you are charged with embezzlement, you could face up to four years in state prison. If you are charged with grand theft, you could face up to six years in prison.
Probation. You could also be ordered to serve a term of probation. Probation typically lasts at least three years and can include a variety of conditions, such as community service, counseling, and a ban on working in the same field. You could be sent to prison if you violate any of the terms of your probation.

Hear it From A Few
Of Our Clients

I would highly recommend Mr Castillo to anyone.
“Mr Castillo represented me on a criminal case in which I was falsely accused in 2012. He took over the case from a previous lawyer who was less aggressive and not actively pursing my defense. Mr Castillo is a confident, aggressive and very persistent lawyer. He kept my family and I up to date on the case and also returned our calls on time. Mr Castillo persuaded me not to take any deal and wanted take the case to trial because he was confident that he would win. With the Lord's guidance and Ernie's aggressiveness my case was dismissed. I would highly recommend Mr Castillo to anyone.”

I would recommend Mr. Castillo without any reservation.
“Ernie Castillo was highly recommended to us. I researched and interviewed a few attorneys before making a decision of who we were going to select. It's so tough selecting when you're skeptical with the horror stories of attorney's not feeling the passion for their work but the money. After long conversations my husband and I decided to go with Ernie to represent our son in a serious case with multiple charges. We were not disappointed at all. Mr. Castillo expertise exceeded our expectations. His was thorough, he kept us up to date on the case, answered all our questions, returned our calls in a timely manner, he's truly a genuine and sincere person. Most of all his knowledge in handling the case was remarkable. I can't express thanks enough to Ernie for the spectacular job he did defending my son who was facing years in jail. He took a stressful situation and relieved it with a positive outcome. I would recommend Mr. Castillo without any reservation.”

RE
I can't thank Ernie enough for investing his time and sincere efforts to helping my family out. He truly is a master of his craft.
“A few years back, Ernie Castillo represented a family member of mine who was charged with a vehicular offense. Although minor compared to the high profile cases Ernie is accustomed to, Ernie took the case with the utmost professionalism and was able to reduce the charge so that my family member's record was not affected. I can't thank Ernie enough for investing his time and sincere efforts to helping my family out. He truly is a master of his craft.”
