White Collar Crime Charges We Defend Against

Credit Card Fraud

Credit card fraud includes using, stealing, cloning, or misrepresenting a credit or debit card to make unauthorized purchases. Whether the charges stem from a misunderstanding or identity mix-up, we build a defense that protects your rights and challenges the prosecution’s evidence.

General Fraud (Financial, Business, Insurance, and More)

Fraud can involve any attempt to deceive for personal or financial gain — such as writing bad checks, forging documents, falsifying insurance claims, or misrepresenting finances. We provide defense for fraud charges by investigating intent, challenging prosecution timelines, and exposing weaknesses in the state’s case.

Identity Theft

Being accused of using someone else's personal information for gain — even online — can lead to serious state or federal felony charges. We defend against identity theft allegations by challenging the methods used to collect evidence and identifying gaps in proof of intent.

Embezzlement

Often charged in workplace or professional settings, embezzlement involves misusing funds or property entrusted to you. We examine accounting records, access logs, and communication to challenge embezzlement allegations and negotiate reduced charges or dismissal when possible.

Money Laundering

Money laundering involves concealing the origins of illegally obtained funds through a series of financial transactions. These cases often accompany drug or fraud charges and are prosecuted at both the state and federal level. We provide money laundering defense that targets the paper trail, intent, and legal process used to file charges.

Tax Evasions

Tax-related charges such as willful failure to file, filing false returns, or hiding income from the IRS can carry federal penalties and lengthy prison sentences. We work with tax professionals and financial analysts to build a strong tax evasion defense and protect you from overreach or inaccurate accusations.

What's at Stake in a White Collar Crime Conviction

How We Defend Against White Collar Crime Charges

White collar cases often involve complex evidence, long paper trails, and digital records. Our approach includes:

  • Exposing lack of intent or mistaken identity
  • Assembling expert witnesses or forensic accountants when necessary
