A “white collar crime” refers to financially motivated, nonviolent crime allegedly committed by business and government professionals. It was first defined by sociologist Edwin Sutherland in 1939 as “a crime committed by a person of respectability and high social status in the course of his occupation…”

If you are accused of a white collar crime, you need a coordinated and efficient white collar criminal defense. When someone is accused of a white collar crime, it can result in a criminal investigation and prosecution. However, there are also collateral consequences from regulatory agencies, and potential civil liability. There is often a massive amount of discovery that accompanies most white collar crime cases.

These cases be charged as:

• Fraud
• Forgery
• Computer crimes
• Money Laundering
• Tax fraud and evasion
• Embezzlement
