Embezzlement is the fraudulent appropriation by a person to his own use of property or money entrusted to that person's care but owned by someone else. Embezzlement can involve a few dollars or a few million. Either way you need an experienced white collar criminal attorney that can help get your charges dropped or reduced. In Arizona the penalties for embezzlement can be very severe; you need the best legal representation possible.

Unlike theft, in embezzlement an actual conversion must occur and the embezzler must have had the right to possess the item. The original taking must not be trespassory. Often embezzlers steal relatively small amounts repeatedly over a long period of time. In many cases embezzlement involves the under reporting of income, whereby the embezzler pockets the difference.

Our Phoenix, AZ based embezzlement law practice is led by Joseph Chornenky. Joe is a skilled attorney and a state certified specialist is criminal defense. He has the knowledge and experience to take on any misappropriation or embezzlement case.
