$44,000 Felony Theft-No Jail

Woman was charged with felony theft from a business setting in the amount of about $44,000. She wisely hired Attorney Griessmeyer in combination with California Co-Counsel as soon as the police contacted her. She paid back a large portion of the money before her first court appearance. Because of the hard work by her attorneys and her taking responsibility for the crime, she was able to avoid extraditition, avoid arrest, and avoid jail for even one day. She also only had to make one court appearance. She was sentenced to four years probation with no objection to transfer of the probation to another state.
