It is difficult to tell you what attorney you would need based on your description. It sounds as if you have been accused, by your former employer, of a crime. If the police come to you, you should hire a criminal defense attorney. If, however, she is just trying to sue you for money, you will need a civil defense attorney, or a litigator. You should probably check with attorneys in your town to make a determination as to whom you should hire. Hopefully you can get an attorney to agree to a free consultation, at which point you would want to take the letter you received from your former employer's attorney. Good luck going forward.
