NYC Embezzlement Lawyers

Serving New York and Long Island

We are all human. And as humans, we sometimes make mistakes that can adversely affect our lives. Embezzlement is one of those crimes that can have very serious ramifications. There are times when people can become overwhelmed and become desperate. Overdue bills, needs of children and even just plain greed can cause people to do things they wouldn’t otherwise do. Stealing money from your employer, church or other organizations where you handle money is considered embezzlement. Let the lawyers at Raiser and Kenniff help you.

Embezzlement charges can be very stressful and turn your life upside down. You will face many severe consequences. Not only will you lose your job, but you will also be arrested, and have to face the scrutiny of being a thief. This can also hurt your family members as well. Spouses and children also have to face the shame of whispers during this very trying time. And this is all before you are convicted. If you are found guilty, you can face several years in prison.

This is why you should find the most experienced criminal defense attorney you can. The professionals at Raiser and Kenniff can help you with every obstacle thrown your way. Allow them to take on your case and fight for your rights.

There are extenuating circumstances involving embezzlement. A great deal depends upon how much you stole and if you have a criminal record of the same behavior. There are individuals who work at large companies and get accused of stealing hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars. There are also individuals who steal much smaller amounts of money. Either way, it is wrong to embezzle. It doesn’t matter if it’s a penny. It’s not yours. But under the law, the dollar amount stolen can make a huge difference in you receiving probation or several years in prison.

Prosecutors can be overzealous. Sometimes, they may want to see you do many years in prison, regardless of the circumstances. Our firm will do our best to negotiate on your behalf. We will attempt to get you the lowest sentence possible under the law — even probation, if possible. We are fully committed to providing you the best possible defense.

Regardless of the circumstances, we will fight for you. Allow us to go over your case and give you a realistic assessment of what you can expect. The key is speaking to a lawyer as soon as you can.

Client Testimonials

Our Clients Rave About Their Results
  • They were always available quickly, to address my concerns. Having dealt with some law firms before, I really appreciated this.

    “Steven Raiser's law firm handled my case with excellence throughout the process. I had a SBA EIDL loan that got transferred to the Department of Treasury unexpectedly, and had a 30% penalty added to the amount due, and due very quickly, which was very stressful. After talking with Steven Raiser, and working with Harry Gill, who was absolutely brilliant in working with me and preparing the case, they were able to recall the case to the SBA. They were always available quickly, to address my concerns. Having dealt with some law firms before, I really appreciated this.
    Very grateful and appreciative to Steven Raiser and Harry Gill. Great work”
