Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Re: Robbery/Embezellment

Yes you will need a lawyer. It is not wise to represent yourself. Your offense while serious, is not one that will send you to prison for life. Most likely scenario with a good lawyer is probation.

Good luck

Re: Robbery/Embezellment

Get a lawyer.

You are facing very serious charges-- felony grand theft and embezzelment, as well as commercial burglary, a lesser crime included in the ones you are formally charged with. Your charges have a maximum punishment of about three years in state prison, plus a period of parole of three years. However, this is the maximum, and it is possible to have a result under these circumstances far less detrimental to you. (There are other collateral consequences to having a felony conviction on your record: i.e., a felon cannot own a firearm, cannot vote, and good luck getting hired for a decent job as a felony embezzeler. Virtually all employers do criminal background checks since 9/11.)

A lawyer may negotiate with the prosecutor for a lesser charge and/or lesser punishment. Much depends on the quantum of evidence against you, the caliber of lawyer representing you, your background (which is good), the amount of loss to the victim (can you pay it back right away?), and the court in which you are charged (different jurisdictions vary considerably in terms of how severely they punish for a particular crime--some are more liberal than others).

Jails are overflowing with inmates who will gripe about how they got more punishment for the same or a lesser crime. Don't add your name to that list of inmates. Contact me, or any criminal defense attorney in your area for a free consultation to discuss in depth your unique facts and circumstances and how best to proceed-- you can only be helped by being armed with more information. I wish you the best of luck.
