Generally, 3 years in state prison, but this will depend on the nature of the crime and the individual convicted.

Re: Embezzlement

It depends on the amount claimed to have been embezzled, and on whether your attorney writes a sentencing memorandum, which if it is a felony, all attorneys should do.

Good luck!

I believe maximum exposure would be 3 years in state prison per each embezzlement or similar theft/fraud charge, if that is what you are asking. Also, the defendant will have to pay back the amount stolen, at a minimum.
