Embezzlement Charge Dismissed & Probation Terminated Early

On behalf of Randall & Stump, PLLC in on Friday, August 17, 2018

Randall & Stump recently assisted a female client, who was accused of abusing her position as an insurance adjuster by cutting herself checks and depositing them into a personal account. After an investigation by the North Carolina Department of Insurance, she was charged with embezzlement and faced a possible prison sentence between four and 24 months. Our Charlotte defense attorneys were able to intervene early on and facilitated an agreement to cover all the separate allegations into a single charge. Next, we negotiated with the prosecution and reached a plea that involved the payment of $9,000 in restitution and a two-year term of probation instead of prison.

After only three months of actively participating in probation, we secured the early termination of her probation and a complete dismissal of the charges based on the successful completion of her probation. This spared our client from any further obligation and a serious felony conviction from appearing on her record – not to mention a devastating prison sentence.
