Barry had been working for an insurance company in Oakland County, Michigan, for several years. He was a trusted employee, responsible for handling large sums of money and managing the company's finances. However, Barry had recently fallen on hard times. He had accumulated significant debt and was struggling to keep up with his bills.
Desperate for a solution, Barry began to take money from the company's accounts, with the intention of paying it back as soon as he could. At first, it was just a small amount, but as his financial situation worsened, he found himself taking larger and larger sums of money. Unfortunately, Barry's actions did not go unnoticed. The company's accounting department eventually discovered the missing funds and conducted an internal investigation. The evidence against Barry was overwhelming, and he was immediately terminated from his job and reported to the authorities. Barry was arrested and charged with embezzlement, a serious felony offense in Michigan. He was terrified and had no idea how to navigate the complex legal system. He knew that a felony conviction could have a devastating impact on his life, ruining his career prospects and damaging his reputation.
