Madison, WI Embezzlement Lawyer

Embezzlement is known as “theft by bailee” in Wisconsin. It’s a crime of theft, but unlike theft, where something is taken without permission, embezzlement happens when someone has permission to use the money or property in question but uses it in a way that’s inappropriate – for example, an employee who uses a company credit card to pay for a new wardrobe. The severity of the charge is based on the amount of money or value of the property involved. As such, embezzlement cases are complex and nuanced.

How to Fight Embezzlement Charges

A good legal defense team will pay close attention to your side of the story. There are a lot of defenses to embezzlement charges and understanding the full scope of the case will help them determine the best way to move forward. Some common defenses include:

• Lack of evidence: The burden is on the prosecution to prove your guilt. If the prosecution has a weak case with little evidence, your case could be thrown out for insufficient evidence.
• Duress: We can attempt to prove you believed you would be in danger or would be harmed if you did not commit the crime.
• Entrapment: If you were forced to commit a crime by law enforcement or the government, we can argue entrapment.
• Lack of Intent: Maybe the crime was just a misunderstanding. We can argue that you thought you had permission to use the money or property in the way you did.
