  • Petty Theft Embezzlement Charge: Petty theft is considered a misdemeanor, which brings lower penalties.
      ✓ You are accused of embezzling property worth $950 or less.
  • Grand Theft Embezzlement Charge: Although sometimes treated as a misdemeanor in less grave cases, grand theft charges are often determined to be felonies which, in the case of convictions, bring serious penalties.
      ✓ You are accused of embezzling property worth more than $950 or the embezzled property involves an automobile or firearm.
