White Collar Crimes

“White Collar Crime” refers to crimes committed for financial gain, usually by people working in business or government. As with any arrest or allegation of criminal activity, being accused of a white collar crime can affect your job, your family and your future. Punishment for white collar crimes can include jail time and substantial fees beyond just repayment of money stolen. To protect yourself, you need an experienced, aggressive attorney on your side.
