​Palm Beach Civil Theft Attorney


What is the Civil Theft?

Florida law allows individuals and businesses to pursue a civil theft claim when money or property has been wrongfully taken. Unlike a simple breach of contract, civil theft involves conduct that may justify additional remedies under Florida law, including the potential recovery of treble damages and attorney's fees.

Civil theft claims often arise in business disputes involving misappropriation of funds, unauthorized transfers of assets, embezzlement, ownership disputes, or other situations where money or property has been wrongfully taken.

Civil Theft Scenarios

​One example of civil theft may occur when a business partner, officer, member, or shareholder improperly takes company funds or assets for personal use, causing financial harm to the business.

Civil theft claims may also arise when company property, inventory, equipment, or funds are wrongfully taken or diverted without authorization.

Not every dispute involving money or property qualifies as civil theft. In many situations, the facts must be carefully evaluated to determine whether the matter involves a breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, civil theft, or another legal claim.
