What is Embezzlement in Michigan?

Embezzlement means stealing money or property from an employer or organization you had legal access to. Michigan law treats this as a theft crime, and charges depend on the amount allegedly taken:

• Under $200: Misdemeanor
• $200–$1,000: Misdemeanor with harsher penalties
• $1,000–$20,000: Felony
• Over $20,000: Higher-level felony

Aggravating factors like a prior record or the victim being a nonprofit can make penalties worse.

Penalties for Embezzlement

If convicted, you could face:

• Jail or prison time
• Fines and restitution
• Probation
• Permanent criminal record

You could also lose professional licenses, future job opportunities, and trust within your field. That’s why it’s crucial to have a skilled embezzlement defense lawyer on your side.
