Grand Rapids Embezzlement Defense Attorney

Embezzlement is not just a financial crime – it’s a breach of trust. Prosecutors take these cases very seriously, and the consequences can be life-changing. Whether you’re accused of stealing money, falsifying records or misusing funds, the penalties can be severe.

I am defense attorney James K. Champion, and I am ready to stand by your side. I offer aggressive, experienced defense for those facing embezzlement charges. I understand the stakes, and I will fight to protect your rights and your future.

What Are The Most Common Types Of Embezzlement?

Embezzlement comes in many forms, all of which involve misusing a position of trust for personal gain. Some of the most common examples include:

  • Stealing cash or property from an employer.
  • Falsifying financial records, like payroll or bank statements.
  • Writing unauthorized checks or making fraudulent transfers.
  • Using company funds for personal expenses.

These actions can lead to serious criminal charges, even if the amounts involved seem small. Having a knowledgeable lawyer by your side can make all the difference, guiding you through the legal process and building a strong defense against these serious charges.

The Consequences Of An Embezzlement Conviction

If convicted, you face more than just fines and jail time. An embezzlement conviction can damage your professional reputation, leading to the loss of licenses, certifications or even your entire career. You may find it nearly impossible to get a job in your field again, as many employers will view you as untrustworthy.

As your attorney, I will fight tirelessly to challenge the prosecution’s case. I have built my practice on standing up for the little guy against the powerful justice system, and I will work to defend you in court, negotiate a favorable plea deal or pursue dismissal of your charges.
