White collar crime is generally confined to extremely unethical, illegal behaviors such as bribery or extortion, or acts through which a person attempts illegal monetary gains through acts such as embezzlement, fraud, or theft. Conviction of a white collar crime will almost certainly be a death blow to any hope of future employment in a professional career.
Sometimes white collar crime involves a conspiracy of corporate officers, elected officials, politicians or employees. An example of such white collar crimes would be bribery, accepting kickbacks, embezzlement of public funds, misuse of taxpayer funds, and related criminal acts.
The federal court system and the prosecution of white collar crimes is very complex and a successful defense requires an attorney that understands the nuances and fine points of the law. Since federal crimes typically mandate harsh penalties, excessive fines, and long prison sentences it is very important that you hire a criminal defense attorney as soon as you are arrested or suspect that you are under investigation for any Federal crime.
We strongly advise against speaking with prosecutors, district attorneys or federal agents without having legal counsel present. Additionally you should recover any records or evidence that can support your defense before it goes missing or is destroyed.
