To begin with, in North Carolina, embezzlement is a serious crime. As a result, you may face jail time, fines, and restitution if convicted. Even a single misstep can create long-term consequences, so understanding your rights early is crucial. Moreover, acting quickly can prevent minor allegations from escalating into more serious charges. Therefore, you should contact an embezzlement lawyer if you are under investigation or are placed under arrest. Moreover, taking swift action can limit the impact on your personal and professional life.
I am Greenville embezzlement defense attorney Keith A. Williams. My experience in both federal and state courts began in 1992. Since then, I have used this experience to defend my clients’ freedom and reputations in large and small embezzlement cases. Furthermore, my long-standing practice has given me insight into how prosecutors build these cases. Over the years, I have seen how prompt legal action can make the difference between a minor penalty and a major conviction. In the same way, early legal intervention can often prevent misunderstandings from turning into formal charges. In addition, I work closely with clients to ensure they understand every step of the legal process. As a result, clients feel more confident and prepared as their case moves forward.

An Embezzlement Lawyer Defends Clients From Many Occupations And Backgrounds
Generally, most embezzlement allegations leveled against employees are those who had access to company accounts as part of their work. In addition to other white-collar charges, I defend embezzlement clients in Greenville and throughout Eastern North Carolina. Additionally, embezzlement allegations arise across industries, not just in large corporate environments. These backgrounds and occupations can include, for example:
- Accountants and Bookkeepers
- Treasurers
- Corporate directors and officers
- Any employee within a company with the ability to company funds. For example, someone who can write checks, use credit cards, or make payments and withdrawals on a business account.
Consequently, even routine job responsibilities can be misinterpreted during an investigation.
What Activities Might Lead To An Embezzlement Prosecution?
Charges can result when employees have allegedly:
- Skimmed money from deposits or took petty cash
- Wrote checks to themselves or others out of company accounts
- Had the ability to transfer money from one account to another
- Made a charitable donation in their name using company funds
