The amount for a felony in California is $400.00 or above. It may be advantageous to retain an attorney to try to resolve the situation with your former employer before the case gets turned over to the District Attorney's Office.

Feel free to contact me if you like. I practice in Alameda County and the surrounding Bay Area counties.

Good luck,

Elena
