White collar crimes typically involve non-violent offenses committed for financial gain. These cases are often document-heavy and may include lengthy investigations before charges are filed.

Common white collar charges include:

• Fraud (insurance, wire, mail, or financial fraud)
• Embezzlement
• Identity theft
• Forgery
• Credit card fraud
• Theft-related financial offenses

These charges may be prosecuted at the state or federal level, depending on the circumstances.

White collar crime convictions can result in:

• Significant fines and restitution
• Probation or incarceration
• Permanent criminal record
• Damage to professional licenses and career opportunities

In federal cases, penalties can be even more severe, with sentencing guidelines that may involve substantial prison time.

White collar cases require a detailed and strategic approach. We carefully analyze:

• Financial records and transactions
• How evidence was obtained
• Intent and knowledge
• Witness statements and documentation

In many cases, early intervention can lead to reduced charges—or prevent charges from being filed altogether.

Fraud charges can stem from many different categories and are often linked to other charges. That is why you need to hire our white collar crimes defense attorneys to help you decipher the letter of the law. These types of charges are often investigated for long periods of time, so if you suspect you are under investigation, contact our aggressive trial defense attorneys today for you free case evaluation.

White Collar Theft Crimes

As white collar crime defense attorneys, we have the experience that could make the difference in your case. We defend the full range of white collar crimes, including wire fraud. This is a charge that can be brought against you in a variety of situations. The statute is rather broad and is often associated with other charges. Bank fraud, for example, can frequently have an associated wire charge. Tax fraud is similar, and if you are facing this charge, it can be very serious. Mortgage fraud is another example of a white collar crime that we will defend for you. As a criminal defense attorney with more than four decades experience, we know how to find the gaps in the government’s case. Mail fraud is another charge that can frequently be tacked on to a different charge. This is a prosecution tactic that we are very familiar with. Insurance and healthcare fraud is often very complex and requires a lengthy government investigation. You are entitled to due process, part of which means your criminal defense attorney gets time to prepare your case. The sooner you get us started on the details of your case, the sooner we can get your life back to normal.

Sentences associated with white collar crimes are often less severe than other crimes. However, since there are often multiple charges in any indictment, do not take this lightly. Even short sentences can add up quickly and you could spend years away from your family. The fines that are associated with the crimes can be severe as well. If you are the victim of circumstances or an honest mistake, do not simply accept your fate. You need a trial lawyer, like us, to stand by your side throughout the whole process. We are committed to helping you and your family through this stressful time. Whether you committed a crime or not, your rights are not negotiable. The state must prove your guilt beyond any reasonable doubt. Let us fight for you and either prove your innocence or get you the best possible outcome.

Tax Evasion Charges

Tax laws can be very complex. Many times, people that are not accountants or lawyers will not understand them. Many cases we see are the result of an honest mistake. Accounting is complicated, especially when small business and personal accounts interact. Do not let a small error ruin your life. While the Department of Revenue in this state will work with you at times, other times criminal charges can result. If you even think you are being investigated for tax evasion, hire a trial lawyer, like us, right away. This allows us to be with you from the beginning to the very end. With intimate knowledge of your case, we can often find the falsity in the government’s case to prove your innocence. We can never guarantee an acquittal, but we can promise that we will be by your side until the very end working very hard to have charges dropped or mitigated.

Tax Evasion Penalties

Willfully evading taxes can carry a three year prison term. If there are multiple charges of tax evasion against you, the sentence can add up quickly. Even if you do not get a long prison term, the fines can be $500,000 in addition to the cost of prosecution. This is obviously very severe for a business person. While it may seem like you should be able to state your case reasonably and honestly, that may not be in your best interest. Unfortunately, at a time like this, you need a criminal defense lawyer, and we are here to help you! There are plenty of people in prison that thought cooperating with the authorities and telling the truth would help them. That is not always true. Avoid making statements without counsel present. When you retain us, you get our four decades of experience on your side. We will help you navigate this complex system and strive to get you the best possible outcome. Most importantly, when you hire us you get an attorney that will fight for you every step of the way. Do not wait to call. The sooner we get started, the sooner you can stop worrying about this.

Money Laundering Charges

Money laundering is any of a number of activities that can conceal the source of money. The statute in this state is complex, which is why it is critical to hire an experienced criminal defense attorney, like us, to help you navigate it. The law includes the verbs “give, sell, trade, invest, conceal, [and] transport” and even “otherwise made anything available of value.” It is incredibly broad, which is why you are going to want our four decades of experience on your side. Trying to decipher the law on your own is probably not a good idea. Further, you can be charged with money laundering even if you received or acquired the funds from a money laundering scheme. Because the law is so broad, you should not make any comments to investigators without counsel present. Without knowing more details about your case, we cannot offer any other useful advice. Set up a consult with us today and we can get started on defending you right away.
