About White Collar Crimes
A white collar crime is the name given to a non-violent, financially motivated illegal act that is damaging to businesses or individuals. The term is used to refer to a whole range of offenses committed by individuals.
Our firm defends against a vast array of white collar offenses, including:
- Tax violations
- Bribery
- Securities fraud
- Credit card fraud
- Larceny
- Cybercrime
- Identity theft
- Public corruption
- Extortion
- Money laundering
- Racketeering
- Healthcare fraud
- Embezzlement
- Mortgage fraud
- Forgery
- Counterfeiting
- Insurance fraud
These types of scams can destroy companies, devastate families, and cost investors billions of dollars. This is why the government takes these crimes very seriously and deals with them by imposing harsh penalties.
White collar crimes convictions often result in the following, and more:
- Large fines
- Imprisonment
- Forfeiture of assets
- Loss of professional license
- Probation
- Restitution
- Mandatory community service
Defending Against White Collar Crimes
Finance-related crimes are often highly technical cases that can take a long time to resolve. The good news for those accused of white collar crimes is that the prosecution has the burden of proof. To prove that a crime was committed, they must show the presence of four key elements.
Those elements include:
- Intent. The defendant must have intentionally committed an unlawful act.
- Disguise and concealment. The defendant hid or concealed his or her criminal activity to avoid detection.
- Knowledge. The defendant must know that he or she committed the crime.
- Reliance. The victim relied on the defendant’s fraudulent act or scheme.
A skilled criminal defense attorney can fight to show that at least one of these three elements is missing, and therefore the defendant is not guilty of the crime.
