White collar crimes may be the result of a misunderstanding, oversight, or the act may have been perpetrated by another, yet you stand accused.

What are White Collar Crimes?

White collar crimes are nonviolent, financially motivated acts that are often committed by individuals, government officials, and businesses. Charges may be brought against a defendant by the state or federal government, depending on the specifics of the situation. In addition to criminal prosecution, the victims may bring civil lawsuits against the defendant, either at the same time or after the criminal case is concluded.

White collar crimes may be charged as misdemeanors or felonies, depending on the circumstances of the case and amount of money involved. Regardless of whether you are facing misdemeanor or felony charges, it is wise to hire an experienced white collar crimes lawyer.

Protecting Your Rights & Reputation

Although these are not violent crimes, the government takes these acts very seriously and harsh penalties may be imposed upon conviction. You are at risk of lengthy jail or prison terms, large fines, and restitution to the victims. In addition, your professional reputation is at risk, which may limit your employment opportunities in the future, even after you are released from jail. For this reason, you need an experienced lawyer on your side.
