White Collar Crime

If you are arrested or under investigation for a white collar crime such as theft by deception, insurance fraud, fraud, contractor fraud, theft from a municipal government or corporation, failure to disperse funds, credit card fraud, crimes related to gambling, or identity theft, it is critical that you hire a criminal defense attorney who has an accounting background at the earliest possible time.  Many of these charges increase in penalties and grading depending on the amount of money involved.  Unfortunately, we have witnessed law enforcement following the adage “in for an ounce, in for a pound” resulting in offenders being charged for amounts far in excess of what was actually taken.  You need an attorney who understands financial documents and systems and can use them to eliminate or minimize your exposure.
