Understanding White Collar Offenses
White collar crime charges are prosecuted at the state or federal level. Due to the high sums of money involved, they are typically felonies. These are challenging cases, often involving detailed financial transactions and sophisticated technology. There are many kinds of white collar crimes, but common offenses are:
- Embezzlement
- Tax evasion
- Money laundering
- Identity theft
- Bribery
- Credit card fraud
- Insider trading
- Insurance fraud
Defending against any of these charges requires an attorney who understands the case against you and can develop an effective defense strategy.
