White-Collar Crime
The term white-collar crime refers to
various types of unlawful, nonviolent conduct committed by corporations
and individuals including theft or fraud. These crimes are economic in
nature. Subject to prosecution under both federal and state laws,
white-collar offenses are punishable by probation, house arrest,
repayment of stolen funds, fines, and imprisonment. White-collar crime
cases usually involve a large volume of documents and financial records
upon which the prosecution relies to build its case. If you have been
accused of committing a white-collar crime, you deserve a qualified
attorney who is willing to conduct a detailed and thorough examination
of each piece of evidence in your case. Frequently, experts in
accounting, money laundering, insurance, off-shore bank accounts, etc.
may be needed to properly represent a person charged with a white
collar crime.
