Re: does anybody know how long this process takes?
It depends on how busy the court is. Your lawyer can give you a pretty good estimate. Probably a few weeks.

Re: Embezzlement over $1000 under $20,000 in Michigan
well i got my letter today from my lawyor.
my pre trial date is april 11th and he said he
got a chance to talk to the prosecutor
on my case and since its my first offence,
as long as i bring $550 with me to get my
restitution down under $3,000.00 she will
agree to let me participate in the diversion program :D
which means once i pay my restitution. my charges
will be dismissed and i'll keep my clean record:)
she said i will have to be on probation for a few months
but probation is not a problem for me.After this shit,
i don't ever wanna deal with a criminal matter ever again.
but anyways,i hope this thread can be used to help
answer ones ?'s. i appreciate this website for helping
out people to the best of their ability. theres not always
a definite consequence for your actions and i think
my story is a perfect example.
thanks for your time,

Re: Embezzlement over $1000 under $20,000 in Michigan
Well,i have 2 weeks to get $550 and then i will be in the lansing michigan area diversion program. i have yet to find out how much my payments will be.The Judge said that she would sign to dismiss the case but if i didnt make my payments then it would all be brought back up and i'll have to go through all of what ive been through all over again. :wallbang: i have a question though.:confused: she said i was to enroll in the diversion program,but said nothing about probation,is this the same thing as probation or is this just how i go about paying the prosecutor off?its probably something i need to ask my lawyor about but i figured id ask u.As always thanks for your replies and
your time.-michigan man07
Re: Embezzlement over $1000 under $20,000 in Michigan
Thank you Michigan_man for telling your story on here. Its really helped answer a lot of questions that I have. My girlfriend (19 years old) is in similar trouble. In fact, she is facing the same charges also in Michigan. She is really a good person and made a horrible mistake, taking just under $2,000 from her place of employment. Right now she is so scared of what will happen to her. She has no record whatsoever and never has been in trouble with the law, and she is really scared that she will go to jail for this.
How is your story progressing? What is the diversion program exactly? How much are you expected to pay in restitution and fines? Did you find out about how long it takes to get it taken off your record?
Thank you so much for your response,
-Mike
