Embezzlement

Rhode Island Embezzlement Lawyers

What is Considered Embezzlement in Rhode Island?

Although considered a form of property theft, embezzlement is much different than just stealing something that does not belong to you. Such an offense occurs when a defendant, who was tasked with the management of someone else’s money or property, steals all or part of these assets for personal gain. In order to be charged with embezzlement, the defendant must have had legal access to someone else’s money or property but not legal ownership.

Monetary crimes in Rhode Island are both serious and complex, requiring the involvement of an experienced criminal defense attorney. At the Law Offices of Robert H. Humphrey, you will find a legal team unmatched in their skill and commitment to excellence. The firm stands ready to defend your reputation with a strong case and compelling arguments.

Felony Embezzlement & Other Embezzlement Punishments

Accusations of embezzlement are common and can be thrust on anyone in a position of financial management. This can include bank tellers, company employees, and estate administrators. As with any crime involving money, the more valuable the money or property allegedly stolen, the more serious the penalties can be as a result.

According to state law, embezzlement crimes are punished accordingly:

Less than $100 stolen: a fine of up to $1,000, up to one year in jail, or both.
$100 or more stolen: a fine of up to $50,000 or up to three times the value of the money or property embezzled (whichever is more), up to 20 years in prison, or both.

"I would highly recommend Attorney Humphrey"
I was greatly concerned when my daughter, who is a college student, was charged with drunk driving with high blood alcohol readings. I knew a criminal conviction could have devastating effects on her college career and ability to be employed after graduation. Fortunately, I hired Attorney Humphrey to represent her. After negotiations with the Prosecutor, the drunk driving charge was amended to the non-criminal charge of driving while impaired. He was even able to get the charge expunged from her criminal record. I would highly recommend Attorney Humphrey to any parent whose child finds themselves in a similar predicament.

"I would highly recommend the attorneys of the Law Offices of Robert H. Humphrey."
Being charged by the Westerly police with a DUI, put me in a difficult situation because I was in the process of moving to Florida. I found Robert Humphrey, Esq., online. He and Attorney Petta did a great job handling my case and getting the DUI charge amended. This saved me a lengthy license suspension and allowed me to move on with my plans to move to Florida. I would highly recommend the attorneys of the Law Offices of Robert H. Humphrey.

"HE WROTE THE RHODE ISLAND BOOK ON DUI DEFENSE!"
HE WROTE THE RHODE ISLAND BOOK ON DUI DEFENSE! When I recently got charged with drunk driving with high BAC readings after hitting a tree, I was referred to Attorney Humphrey by a friend who said he wrote Rhode Island’s book on DUI law. I could not recommend Attorney Humphrey more highly. He was able to get my high BAC readings thrown out so I could have a very successful outcome. When you have a DUI case, call the Man who wrote the Book.
