Grand larceny embezzlement charges dismissed in Queens

2019

Lance’s client was arrested for stealing thousands of dollars from a former employer who complained to the NYPD. After the arrest, or client came to see us to discuss options. The main priority was avoiding jail and avoiding a felony conviction. In cases like this, our clients face up to 4 years in prison and a permanent felony conviction. Felonies can make you forever ineligible for certain benefits, licenses, and jobs. After several months of litigation in Queens criminal court, Lance was able to negotiate a deal with the Queens District Attorney that exceeded our original goals. We resolved our client’s case with a deal where she would only end up convicted of disorderly conduct. The penalty was only community service, not jail. No criminal record.
