Florida Misappropriation

As a Jacksonville Business Lawyer, I often run up against cases which involve misappropriation.

Definition: Misappropriation is the intentional, illegal use of the property or funds of another person for one's own use or other unauthorized purpose, particularly by a public official, a trustee of a trust, an executor or administrator of a dead person's estate or by any person with a responsibility to care for and protect another's assets (a fiduciary duty). It is a felony (a crime punishable by a prison sentence).

If you feel that you are dealing with a case which involves Misappropriation, you should discuss the facts and circumstances with a Florida Business Lawyer.
