Unraveling the intricacies of financial transactions and understanding the legal statutes is paramount when dealing with embezzlement charges. Our Bristol County embezzlement lawyers have the expertise to analyze evidence and meticulously construct tailored defense strategies.

Penalties for Embezzlement in Massachusetts

Embezzlement convictions in Massachusetts can entail severe penalties, depending on the extent of the offense and the defendant's prior criminal history:

• Value under $1,200: Embezzlement of property valued at less than $1,200 can lead to a maximum fine of $300, imprisonment for up to 1 year in a county jail, or both.
• Value over $1,200: Embezzlement of property exceeding $1,200 in value is classified as a felony, potentially resulting in a fine of up to $25,000, imprisonment in a state prison for up to 5 years, or both.

These penalties may escalate if the embezzled amount is substantial or the defendant has a history of criminal convictions. However, with the right legal representation, these consequences can be mitigated.
