Vero Beach Embezzlement Lawyer
Embezzlement charges threaten everything you built over the years. Your career, your professional license, your reputation and your freedom all hang in the balance when prosecutors accuse you of misappropriating funds or stealing from your employer. These white collar criminal charges carry serious prison time, heavy fines and a permanent criminal record that follows you for life.
I’m Adam Chrzan, a Vero Beach embezzlement lawyer who defends clients throughout Indian River County and the Treasure Coast, including Port St. Lucie, Florida. As a former state prosecutor, I know exactly how the state builds criminal cases and where weaknesses exist in their evidence. I use this insider knowledge to protect your future and fight for your best possible outcome.
Understanding Embezzlement And Theft Charges In Florida
Florida treats embezzlement as theft where you had legal access to money or property, but used it without permission. Prosecutors must prove you took funds for personal use on purpose. Charges depend on the amount stolen. Theft under $750 is a misdemeanor, while over $750 becomes a felony. Embezzlement over $100,000 can mean up to 30 years in prison.
What To Do If You Are Under Investigation For Misappropriation Of Funds
The investigation phase determines your case outcome. If your employer confronts you about missing funds, contact me before answering questions. Anything you say can become evidence against you. Do not explain yourself, provide written statements or allow searches without an attorney present. I protect your rights from Day One.
Protecting Your Career, Future And Reputation
An embezzlement conviction destroys professional opportunities and damages personal relationships. Licensed professionals face disciplinary action from state boards. Corporate executives lose their positions and find themselves unemployable in their field. Even an acquittal leaves a shadow over your reputation. I do my best to get charges reduced or dismissed, negotiate alternative resolutions that avoid criminal convictions and fight for your innocence at trial, when possible. At Adam Chrzan, Attorney At Law, I provide the experienced defense you need during this critical time.
