As a successful real estate broker, the client was concerned about the effect a criminal conviction would have on his professional license and livelihood. The District Attorney would not reduce the charge to a non-criminal traffic violation because the client was previously arrested for driving while intoxicated. Edward found a flaw in the prosecution’s handling of the case and made a motion to dismiss the case. The motion was granted in its entirety and the case was completely DISMISSED.
Client charged with aggravated DWI
Client is a financial professional and his future career advancement was in jeopardy if convicted of this serious misdemeanor crime.

His professional license and future career opportunities are secure.

Defending Against Embezzlement Charges
There are several potential defense strategies that can be employed in embezzlement cases, depending on the specifics of the situation. These may include:
- Lack of Intent: Demonstrating that there was no intent to steal or misappropriate funds can be a powerful defense. This may involve showing that the actions in question were the result of an honest mistake or misunderstanding.
- Insufficient Evidence: Challenging the sufficiency of the evidence is another common defense strategy. I will scrutinize the prosecution’s case to identify any gaps or inconsistencies that can be used to undermine their claims.
- Duress or Coercion: In some cases, individuals accused of embezzlement may have acted under duress or coercion. If applicable, this defense can be used to mitigate culpability and seek a more favorable outcome.
My Approach to Embezzlement Cases
When you choose me as your East Hampton Embezzlement Attorney, you are selecting a lawyer who is committed to providing personalized and strategic legal representation. My approach involves:
- Thorough Investigation: I will conduct a comprehensive investigation of the charges against you, including examining financial records, interviewing witnesses, and identifying any potential weaknesses in the prosecution’s case.
- Strategic Defense Planning: Based on the findings of the investigation, I will develop a tailored defense strategy aimed at achieving the best possible outcome, whether that involves negotiating a favorable plea agreement or preparing for trial.
- Clear Communication: I believe in maintaining open and honest communication with my clients. I will keep you informed about the progress of your case, explain complex legal concepts in plain language, and provide you with the guidance you need to make informed decisions.
The Stakes Are High
A conviction for embezzlement carries severe penalties, including substantial fines, restitution, and imprisonment. Beyond the immediate legal consequences, an embezzlement charge can lead to long-term repercussions such as difficulty finding employment, damage to personal and professional relationships, and a tarnished reputation. Given these high stakes, it is crucial to have an experienced criminal defense attorney who can effectively advocate on your behalf.
Early Intervention is Key
One of the most critical aspects of defending against embezzlement charges is early intervention. The sooner you contact an experienced criminal defense attorney, the better your chances of building a strong defense. Early intervention allows me to preserve evidence, interview key witnesses, and begin negotiating with prosecutors before charges are formally filed. This proactive approach can often lead to reduced charges or even dismissal.
