Las Vegas Embezzlement Attorney

Are you looking for an embezzlement lawyer in Las Vegas? Embezzlement is stealing money or other assets that have been entrusted to the perpetrator. Because of this, it's generally committed against an employer, a client or an organization the perpetrator volunteers for. It's considered white-collar crime.

Embezzlement is a theft crime, but the betrayal-of-trust aspect makes it a more serious crime than simple theft. State law often gives perpetrators the same punishments as other convicted thieves, but adds requirements to pay back the embezzled funds; ineligibility for elected office; and extra penalties for victimizing vulnerable groups. Federal law requires a fine and/or years in prison.
