The North Carolina court system, like many other businesses on the Outer Banks, is taking precautions to avoid the transmission of the novel coronavirus. OBX lawyers and law firms, under the Governor’s Shelter in Place Order, are considered “essential.”

“Criminal defense attorneys are officers of the court and an important part of the timely administration of justice.”

The NC Constitution and Criminal Laws in North Carolina mandate the timely disposition and hearings for certain criminal charges, thereby necessitating interaction with criminal lawyers.

Embezzlement Charges

November 4, 2018 | by Danny Glover

Crimes of theft or dishonesty carry the potential for long-term consequences, especially considering how they may affect the ability to find and keep a good job. That is especially true for offenses involving larceny by employee, abuse of a position of authority or trust, and embezzlement charges.

While very similar to misdemeanor or felony charges involving larceny or “theft,” embezzlement provides for an enhanced punishment for the illegal conversion of assets.

In fact, for offenses involving $100,000 or more, the North Carolina criminal law under Chapter 14 allows for punishment as a Class C felony, which is more serious than armed robbery charges.
