Criminal Defense for Corporate Theft Charges
If you are accused of diverting funds for personal use or otherwise defrauding an employer or client, there is a very real possibility of jail or prison. The outcome of your case depends on the amount of money, the circumstances and the skill of your attorney.

When Employees Are Suspected of Embezzling Funds
Attorney N. Richard Wool has practiced law on Long Island for more than 35 years, and has defended professionals, executives, managers, billing clerks and employees at all levels accused of embezzlement:
- Electronic transfers of funds
- Checks written on company accounts
- Misuse of corporate credit cards
- Siphoning cash or stealing equipment
- Misuse of client funds (breach of fiduciary duty)
An embezzlement conviction is a kiss of death for your future employability. If the company has only suspicions and cannot tie you to missing money, we will vigorously challenge the allegations to protect your freedom and your ability to earn a living.
If the evidence against you is clear and compelling — such as checks written to yourself — we try to minimize the consequences. We focus on your otherwise good character and mitigating factors that might have led you to steal, such as a gambling addiction, drug habit, medical problems or divorce. We try to arrange restitution in lieu of prosecution, or negotiate for probation instead of jail or prison.
