Embezzlement Crimes
Simply stated, embezzlement is stealing. It's a type of theft most often associated with white collar crime. It involves stealing property entrusted to your care — or using it for your own gain.
I'm Marc Hart. My law firm is devoted exclusively to defending people who have been accused of or charged with committing a crime. As a former prosecuting attorney, I now bring over 36 years of criminal courtroom experience to the defense of every one of my clients in courts throughout Michigan.
Rather than just going for the quick and easy plea, I vigorously fight the allegations, go for the win at trial, or find the leverage necessary to minimize the penalties and consequences in every client’s case. |
Defending High-Profile Clients Against Embezzlement Charges
Like other theft charges, penalties in embezzlement cases range in severity depending on the value of the property involved and the vulnerability of the victim. At The Law Offices of Marc E. Hart in Royal Oak, we have successfully defended high-level corporate executives, small-business employees and others charged with embezzling amounts ranging from $1 million down to a few hundred. You don't have to go to prison, even if you got caught with your hand in the cookie jar.

Accusations of embezzlement often overlap with other serious charges such as:
- False pretenses
- Mail and wire fraud
- Conspiracy
- Racketeering
- Forgery
- Money laundering
- Larceny
- Elder abuse
These charges are often leveled against corporate executives and employees who have access to company assets and money: bank tellers, accountants, bookkeepers, treasurers and the like. Embezzlement charges can also cover scenarios outside the employment context. For example, embezzlement charges can be brought against someone responsible for managing the money of an elderly loved one or against someone in charge of a neighborhood charitable organization.
Whatever your situation, one thing is clear: If you are being accused of embezzlement or other fraud-related charges, you need an experienced, aggressive defense lawyer.

"This is a season for Thanksgiving, and you along with the Z family have given us a miracle. Thank you for protecting Rachel from the most serious consequences of this horrible event. You have given Rachel a second chance, to be able to start her young life over.
From the eight attorneys we interviewed with, Rachel handpicked you. She said you were able to look her in the eye, thereby forming a bond of trust. Even though you were only doing your job, you did it exceedingly well; with compassion, patience and most importantly with Heart. For the later, we are and will be eternally grateful that our paths crossed. Pam C. really helped us out in our time of need, by recommending you to us. I think this is referred to as "divine intervention". The professionalism and relationship with the court system you displayed was very impressive. It was apparent that you are well respected by your peers. We also would like to thank Josie for her kindness and professionalism. Thank you again for the fine service you provided for Rachel" Chris, Kim, and Rachel S. |
