AV-rated* defense lawyers with extensive trial experience
With more than 130 jury trials to his credit, Colorado defense attorney Jim Castle has a reputation for excellence in court, but most of our best work is done long before the jurors are selected. Because most embezzlement cases are charged in several counts ranging from grand theft to forgery or attempt to defraud, we go to work immediately to reduce your exposure to punishment.
By attacking the government's case early and often, we can wear down the prosecution and shake its confidence in the case against you. We can reduce the case to its essential issues and help you decide whether you should take them to trial or negotiate a favorable plea. In many cases, we have successfully negotiated misdemeanor pleas on what were originally felony charges.
Better yet, the facts of your case might indicate the possibility of diversion or deferred judgment. Both of these outcomes can lead to eventual dismissal of the case or the opportunity to seal your criminal record.
We select the defense team that's right for the demands of your case
Most embezzlement cases will involve the participation of experts. We might use a forensic accountant to challenge the government's allegations of dollar amounts, or a documents expert to analyze signatures and routing on incriminating records. In cases where the offense might be related to a drug or gambling problem, we'll usually seek the involvement of a skilled therapist to assess the risk of reoffending and outline an effective treatment program.
We'll do whatever it takes to protect you and your family in a case of alleged embezzlement. To learn more about the range of our defense services, contact Castle & Castle in Denver for a free consultation.
