Lexington, South Carolina Defalcations Attorneys
Title insurance agents may be charged with defalcation when suspected of using closing funds for purposes other than those for which they were intended. Officers of corporations or agents that have a fiduciary duty to others can also be charged with defalcation when funds are appropriated by them for their personal use. Similar to embezzlement, charges of defalcation may be accompanied by conspiracy charges and multiple counts of fraud. At the criminal law defense Law Office of Richard J. Breibart, we consult forensic accountants, computer specialists, insurance experts, and our own investigators to challenge defalcation allegations. In many cases, overzealous state and federal investigators mistake a repeated accounting error or misplacement of funds as indicative of fraud. Our attorneys understand how to challenge the prosecution's version of events and expose contradictory testimony on the part of their eyewitnesses.
If you're under investigation for fraud or defalcation or have already been arrested, contact criminal defense attorneys at the Law Offices of Richard J. Breibart today to schedule a confidential consultation to discuss your case.
Obstruction of Justice Charges - Avoiding additional Legal Complications
All too often, people who find themselves under investigation hide files, destroy records, or withhold information on the mistaken assumption that doing so will remove suspicion from them. However, doing so may constitute obstruction of justice, resulting in additional charges and jail time if convicted. If you are under investigation for defalcation or embezzlement, turning all relevant files over to your attorney is in your best interests. Not only can it protect you against obstruction of justice charges it also allows your attorney to legally challenge investigative over-reach on the part of prosecutors.
