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.
