Grand Theft (3rd Degree Felony) — 24 unauthorized electronic transfers from a victim's business bank account totaling $2,020, all routed to the client's personal accounts
The victim reported that following the end of a two-year relationship, the client made 24 unauthorized withdrawals from her company's JP Morgan Chase account over several months. Investigators subpoenaed records from both banks and confirmed the transactions matched exactly. A warrant was issued for the client's arrest.
Before the warrant was executed, counsel arranged for the client to appear voluntarily at the Delray Beach Police Department for a recorded interview, with counsel present throughout. This proactive approach shaped how law enforcement and the State perceived the case from the outset. The matter ultimately resolved with adjudication withheld — no felony conviction, no incarceration. The client walked away on probation with the ability to pay restitution and avoid a permanent felony record.
