A Solo Practitioner Devoted to White Collar Defense and Whistleblower Claims
Who Prosecutes White Collar Crimes?
Federal authorities investigate and prosecute many white collar crimes, many of which cross state lines and may involve tactics such as wire fraud or mail fraud. The U.S. District Attorney’s Office has substantial resources and can aggressively pursue prosecution of white collar criminals.
Will I Be Treated With Leniency?
Even without violence or overt criminal activity, white collar criminals are handed sentences as harsh as those given to violent offenders.
What Kind of Legal Strategies Can Protect Me?
There may be a number of defenses and legal strategies that are available. Many federal prosecutions result in a large number of witnesses being asked to provide information about the case.
An experienced criminal defense lawyer may construct an effective defense via a thorough review – and understanding of – the facts in your case. Copious witness interviews, skillful cross examinations and succinct presentations of physical exhibits and complex financial records will also come into play. White collar cases can be extremely complicated, so success may rely on a defense attorney’s ability to identify a vulnerability or flaw in the prosecution’s case.
What Does the Prosecutor Have to Prove in a Fraud Case?
That depends on the charges. The most difficult to prove, by far, is INTENT TO DEFRAUD OR HARM. This is where your criminal defense attorney’s skill is critical. Persuading a jury that a case lack’s sufficient evidence can be the difference between going to prison or walking away.
What Should I Do If I’m Under Investigation or Indicted?
Choose the best and most experienced White Collar attorney you can afford. Work closely with your attorney and seek to fully understand the evidence the prosecution believes they have against you. Your attorney is your best ally, so plan to collaborate and work closely with your legal team.
