Knowledgeable Criminal Defense for White Collar Crimes

While not typically associated with violence, white collar crimes are by no means not serious. Usually, they are tied in with dishonest activity under the cover of legitimate daily happenings of a business. Constantly changing and always morphing, there is no specific definition of what exactly entails a white collar crime. Instead, this broad term sweeps over crime carried out in the business, financial world. Such white collar crimes include:

  • Fraud
  • Forgery
  • Embezzlement
  • Counterfeiting
  • Bribery
  • Extortion
  • Money Laundering
  • Tax Evasion
  • Spamming, Spoofing and Phishing

It can often times expand larger than that, mostly focusing in on the theft of an unknowing victim over a long period of time. Due to this wide range of the level of gravity concerning the crime, the punishment itself can vary widely. If convicted, you could face jail time or heavy fines. The mark on your criminal record is long-standing as well, touching on every aspect of your life as you move forward in decisions in housing, employment, education and finance. For these reasons, a white collar crime should be taken seriously and dealt with as quickly as possible.
