Many white-collar crimes involve a series of complex transactions. For that reason, these types of crimes can be especially difficult to prosecute. Seeking advice from an attorney can help formulate a proper defense. 

The most common white-collar offenses include: antitrust violations, computer and internet fraud, credit card fraud, phone and telemarketing fraud, bankruptcy fraud, healthcare fraud, environmental law violations, insurance fraud, mail fraud, government fraud, tax evasion, financial fraud, securities fraud, insider trading, bribery, kickbacks, counterfeiting, public corruption, money laundering, embezzlement, economic espionage and trade secret theft.

The penalties for white-collar offenses include fines, home detention, community confinement, costs of prosecution, forfeitures, restitution, supervised release, and imprisonment. However, sanctions can be lessened if the defendant takes responsibility for the crime and assists the authorities in their investigation. Any defenses available to non-white-collar defendants in criminal court are also available to those accused of white-collar crimes.

Please call us immediately if you or someone you know has been arrested or is facing charges for a white-collar crime. While the crime may be non-violent, there are still serious consequences.
