What To Do If You Are Accused Of Theft By Your Employer

Have you or someone you know been accused of theft by an employer? This can be a very serious charge. If convicted, one can expect fines, restitution, loss of employment, or jail time. If the charges are serious enough, one can expect to experience all of the above.

The first thing you should do if confronted by your employer with accusations of theft is to stay quiet. Speak to no one, whether it be a manager, supervisor, or the police. Keep quiet until you retain a lawyer.

The difference between going it alone and having legal counsel can mean the difference of you doing hard time-- or paying a mere fine. If an employer accuses an employee of theft, they are subject to the same due-process that you and I are. In others, they too have to "prove it." If you were falsely accused, don't trust that the legal system will uncover the truth. Without legal representation, the burden of proof now lies on you!

They say "a person is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law." This is a half truth. In order to balance the scales of justice, one must be accompanied by a guide who knows the treacherous terrains they refer to as the "legal system."
