Aggressive Criminal Defense

Former Prosecutor With Over 50 Years Of Experience.

Embezzlement Charges In Michigan? We’ll Advocate For You.

The crime of embezzlement involves the fraudulent appropriation of money or funds by an individual in a position of trust who had the responsibility of managing those assets. Embezzlement typically occurs in an employment setting.

If you are facing charges of embezzlement, it is important to take prompt legal action to ensure that your rights are protected. At the Law Offices of Barry A. Resnick, PLLC, we can help you determine the best course of legal action based on the specific circumstances of your case.

Understanding Michigan Embezzlement Laws

Michigan law treats embezzlement as a serious offense with escalating penalties based on the amount allegedly misappropriated. In Michigan, embezzlement penalties vary based on the value of the property involved:

  • Less than $200: Misdemeanor punishable by up to 93 days in jail
  • $200-$1,000: Misdemeanor carrying up to 1 year in jail
  • $1,000-$20,000: Felony with potential 5-year prison sentence
  • $20,000-$50,000: Felony with up to 10 years imprisonment
  • $50,000-$100,000: Felony carrying up to 15 years in prison
  • Over $100,000: Felony with up to 20 years imprisonment

Beyond criminal penalties, a conviction can devastate your professional reputation and future employment opportunities.

How We Build A Strong Defense For You

Building an effective defense against embezzlement charges requires a detailed analysis of financial information. Our law firm will thoroughly analyze all information that led to criminal charges being filed, no matter what specific circumstances were involved.

Attorney Barry Resnick handles embezzlement defense cases in both state and federal courts. As a former Wayne County prosecutor, he understands both sides of a criminal case. He is able to anticipate the prosecution’s position and build an effective defense of clients’ rights based on that information.

With over 40 years of criminal law experience, we develop customized defense strategies that may include:

  • Challenging the prosecution’s evidence of fraudulent intent
  • Identifying accounting errors that may have been misinterpreted as criminal activity
  • Negotiating for reduced charges or alternative sentencing
  • Exploring restitution options that may help mitigate penalties

Our approach focuses on protecting your reputation and freedom while working toward the most favorable resolution possible.
