What is Embezzlement?

Embezzlement is considered a white-collar crime when someone entrusted with another person's or organization's property or funds misappropriates them for personal gain. This crime typically involves a breach of trust and is often committed by employees, financial officers, or individuals with access to funds or assets.

Embezzlement cases can be intricate, requiring a thorough understanding of financial transactions and a strong legal defense strategy unique to the specific circumstances of each case.

What are the Penalties for Embezzlement in Nebraska?

In Nebraska, the penalties for embezzlement vary depending on the value of the property or funds involved, as well as the circumstances of the crime.The penalties for embezzlement may include:

  • Under $500 is considered a Class II misdemeanor that can reach up to 6 months in jail and/or a $1000 fine.
  • $500 — $1499 is considered a Class I misdemeanor that can reach up to one year in jail and/or a $1000 fine.

Defenses Against Embezzlement Charges

Some potential defenses against embezzlement charges may include:

  • Lack of Intent: Embezzlement requires intent to misappropriate funds or property. If we can demonstrate that you did not have the necessary intent, it could lead to a dismissal or reduction of charges.
  • Mistaken Identity: We can investigate the evidence and circumstances surrounding the alleged embezzlement to determine if there is any case of mistaken identity.
  • Insufficient Evidence: If there is a lack of concrete evidence tying you to the embezzlement, we can vigorously challenge the prosecution's case.
  • Procedural Errors: We can review the procedures followed by law enforcement and prosecution to ensure your rights were not violated at the time of the investigation and legal process.
  • Negotiating a Plea Bargain: In some circumstances, it may be in your best interest to negotiate a plea bargain to reduce charges and potential penalties.
