State Theft / Embezzlement / Fraud Charges

Theft, Embezzlement and Fraud Charges

Kentucky Criminal Defense Lawyer

The crimes of theft, embezzlement and fraud can carry serious penalties. No matter how low the dollar amount these so-called "paper crimes" involve, it is not uncommon for those convicted to face large fines, probation and time in prison.

• Accounting fraud

The Process

At the Davis Law Office, we fight aggressively for the rights of our clients charged with theft, embezzlement and fraud. Over the course of his long experience in criminal law matters, our attorney has developed a proven process when defending clients charged with white collar crimes:

• First, we advise our clients to stop talking and exercise their right to remain silent. Half the time, individuals confess to a crime before obtaining the representation of a lawyer.
• Next, we review all records carefully to thoroughly understand the situation from all points of view.
• We always meet with clients to understand their perspective. We also determine if any of the clients' rights have been violated, and whether any incriminating statements were made.
• If clients plead guilty, we discuss sentencing and the options they may have. We will write letters to judges, talk to the community and discuss alternatives to prison.

Pretrial Diversion

An option that may be available to a defendant is pretrial diversion. If a defendant has had no prior criminal charges, and the crime involved relatively little money, the court may agree to this diversion program. Pretrial diversion could lessen penalties, or even allow the client's charges to be dismissed. Instead, the client may be required to pay back money, do community service, partake in treatment programs or adhere to various other conditions.
