Flemington, NJ asked in Criminal Law, Banking and Business Law for New Jersey

Q: Hello there, how do I go about bringing embezzlement charges against someone? What lawyer would I be looking for?

My husband’s business partner stole $20,000 from their joint business account after my husband was locked out of the online banking portal. It been going on for a couple of months and it’s clear the the former business partner had something to do with that; which I can only assume is bank fraud of some kind as well. Any information you could provide as to how we proceed would be incredibly appreciated. Thank you so much.
