- Client indicted in Federal Court with embezzling over $350,000 from employer. Evidence was overwhelming. Result: After a guilty plea, pursuant to argument that theft took place almost 5 years before charge, that it was due to gambling addiction, and that if sent to prison for years, client could never get a job which would enable restitution (current employer aware of the charges). Client was sentenced to 1 year house arrest with work release, and 30 days to be served on weekends even though a “Federal guideline” sentence called for multiple years in prison.
