Legal Question in Business Law in California

Partnership fraud

I have a problem regarding a partnership fraud and I am not sure what I should do.

I have had this retail business for about a year now. Until recently I found out that my partner was stealing money from the daily sales. The reason I said that is my partner would cancel payments at the end of the day or, cancel payments a few hours after the customers paid for their stay. And that has been last for more than half a year and it's still ongoing. I have been working with the POS systems for over 10 years and I know what that means. And also he had a bad record of taking money from our business account for personal use without noticing the partners.

My question is whether I should file a lawsuit against with him, and if I do, what other additional evident do I need. what's the outcome going to be, or I should just report to some kind of government agency.

Re: Partnership fraud

I would suggest a lawsuit because reporting the theft to the police won't get your money back and won't dissolve the partnership if that is what you want to do at this point. I also have a San Francisco office if you would like to set an appointment to discuss this matter in person.
