Protecting Your Rights Against White Collar Charges

White collar crimes are typically non-violent offenses that involve financial or professional misconduct. These charges often stem from alleged acts of fraud, embezzlement, identity theft, or similar crimes. 

Despite their non-violent nature, white collar offenses carry severe legal and personal consequences, including the risk of prison time, steep fines, and damage to your career. Our firm brings the legal insight and tenacity needed to challenge these charges. Whether you are under investigation or have been formally charged, we will prioritize your case and tailor our approach to pursue the best possible outcome.

We represent clients facing a variety of white collar crime allegations, including:

  • Fraud (credit card fraud, insurance fraud, or mortgage fraud)
  • Identity theft (unauthorized use or possession of personal identifying information)
  • Forgery (altering or creating false documents with intent to deceive)
  • Embezzlement (misappropriation of funds entrusted to you)
  • Deceptive business practices (misrepresenting or falsifying financial transactions)

These cases often involve complex legal and technical issues that require in-depth knowledge of financial systems, accounting practices, and legal statutes. Our team is equipped with the tools and expertise to break down each element of the charges against you and build a strong defense.

Understanding the Consequences of White Collar Convictions

  • Lengthy prison sentences
  • Hefty fines and restitution orders
  • Loss of professional licenses or certifications
  • Permanent damage to employment opportunities

Because the stakes are so high, it’s essential to work with a capable and determined defense lawyer. Our team will explore every avenue to protect your freedom and minimize the impact these charges may have on both your personal and professional life.

CRIMINAL DEFENSE FAQ

  • If I’m innocent, do I really need an attorney?
    Guilt or innocence aside, your future is in jeopardy in the face of criminal allegations. You need an attorney who can protect your rights to show the judge and jury that you are innocent. Legal processes must be followed, and attempts by the prosecuting attorney and law enforcement to secure a conviction must be effectively countered. Even if you are innocent, you need a professional to handle your case.
  • What is a plea agreement? Should I accept it?
    A plea agreement typically involves lesser charges or punishment offered in exchange for a plea of guilty or no contest. Do not accept a plea offer without first talking to your attorney. You need to be certain that this is in your best interests. In some cases, a skilled criminal defense lawyer may be able to fight your charges and help you avoid a conviction altogether – which is far more advantageous than any plea agreement.
  • If I refuse to give a statement or answer a question, will I face criminal charges?
    As already mentioned, you have the right to remain silent. You can politely refuse to answer questions posed to you by a police officer, and you should not face criminal charges simply for exercising this right. Depending on the situation, however, you may still be arrested and taken into custody. Be sure to request to speak to your attorney, who may be able to challenge an unlawful arrest.
  • What are my rights if I'm arrested?
    If you’re arrested, you have the right to remain silent. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided to you. These rights are essential, as anything you say or do after you are taken into custody may be used against you in court. Exercise your rights and protect your interests.
  • Do I have to consent to a search of my home or vehicle?
    The Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution offers protection against unreasonable searches and seizures. This means that law enforcement cannot simply search you or your property or make an arrest without probable cause. You have the right to refuse a law enforcement officer’s request to search your car or your home, but if they have a warrant or believe they have probable cause, they may be able to conduct a search. If you believe your property was illegally searched, an attorney can assess the situation and determine whether this can be used to your advantage in challenging your arrest or charges.
