Do I Need to Hire a White Collar Crime Defense Attorney?

If you’re facing charges of a white-collar crime or you’re being investigated, you should speak with a white-collar crime defense lawyer at the Hines Law Firm as soon as possible. White-collar crimes can be prosecuted by the local, state, or federal government. Even if you’re charged by your state for a crime, this won’t stop the United States attorney from building a case against you in federal court.

With every case, an attorney’s goal is to protect their client’s interests as quickly and as thoroughly as possible. When a client engages us during their investigation, the goal is to close the investigation without criminal or civil charges. If charges are unavoidable, or the charges have already been filed, an attorney’s goal is to resolve their client’s case without further criminal or civil liability.

What Are White Collar Crimes?

White-collar crimes are typically non-violent offenses committed by individuals or organizations in business or professional settings, usually for financial gain.

Common types of white-collar crimes include:

01

Fraud

Fraud involves deceiving others for personal or financial gain. Examples include:

Securities Fraud

Misleading investors or manipulating financial markets.

Bank Fraud

Misusing banking systems or funds for personal gain.

Insurance Fraud

Providing false information to obtain insurance benefits.

Credit Card Fraud

Illegally using someone else’s credit card information for purchases.

02

Embezzlement

Embezzlement occurs when someone entrusted with managing or monitoring funds misappropriated those funds for personal use.

03

Insider Trading

Insider trading involves trading stocks or other securities based on non-public, material information about a company.

04

Bribery and Corruption

Bribery involves offering, giving, receiving, or soliciting something of value to influence the actions of an official or other person in a position of trust. Corruption refers to the abuse of power for personal gain, often involving bribery or other unethical behaviors.

05

Money Laundering

Money laundering is the process of disguising the origins of illegally obtained money, typically by passing it through a complex sequence of banking or commercial transactions.

06

Tax Evasion

Tax evasion involves deliberately underreporting income or inflating deductions on tax returns to reduce tax liability. It is a criminal offense and can lead to severe penalties, including fines and imprisonment.

07

Forgery involves creating, altering, or using false documents or signatures with the intent to deceive others for financial gain. This can include forging checks, contracts, or official documents.

08

White Collar Defense

The type of criminal defense strategy your attorney will use when handling your case depends on many factors, such as:

  • The type of crime
  • The specific circumstances of the crime

Your attorney will try to find a weakness in the government’s investigation or prosecution’s case. The prosecution has the burden of proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

Showing that their client lacked the intent to commit a crime is another defense strategy. Additionally, if the white-collar crime defense lawyer can prove that others forced their client to commit a crime, it can result in the dismissal of all charges.

White-collar crime cases can be extremely complex. Having an experienced and knowledgeable attorney in your corner can significantly increase your chances of a successful outcome.

What Should I Do If I’m Charged with a White Collar Crime?

If you’re charged with a white-collar crime, you must contact an attorney as soon as possible before you make any legal decisions or statements.

When you’re arrested, remember that you have the right to remain silent. Do not speak with law enforcement about your defense plan or alleged crimes before speaking to your white-collar crime defense attorney.

If you are already working with a white-collar crime defense lawyer, do not answer any questions from law enforcement and simply request to contact your attorney.
Dealing with law enforcement and prosecution can be overwhelming and intimidating. Working with an experienced white-collar defense lawyer can provide you with the confidence needed to get through this complex legal process. Your white-collar crime defense attorney at the Hines Law Firm will go above and beyond to create a strong and effective defense strategy that can result in reduced charges, a dismissal of charges, or an acquittal. Our goal is to provide a strong legal defense to help you achieve the best outcome for your case.
