White Collar Crimes

White Collar Crimes Defense Lawyer in Greenville, SC

The term “white collar crimes” incorporates a vast array of charges. Ranging from state charges like breach of trust or financial transaction card fraud, to complex federal charges like money laundering, wire fraud, securities fraud, insurance fraud, insider trading, public corruption or myriad other possible allegations.

The central thrust of all these charges is that the government thinks someone received something they were not entitled to.

Often these cases involve getting into deeply complex business records and transaction logs. Ultimately, the best defense to these charges often involves accounting for every cent alleged to have been taken. This requires not only hard work, but also an attorney who understands the complexity of modern American businesses.

Even being accused of one of these charges can have life-changing impacts. Ranging from the obvious shock and embarrassment, to loss of professional licensing, loss of business, significant civil and criminal fines, or even prison time.

These cases are often prosecuted by agencies most citizens are not used to interacting with, agencies like the Attorney General’s Office, the SEC, the FBI, or Homeland Security. At the federal level these cases often begin with what’s called a “target letter”. It cannot be stressed enough, if you have received a target letter, or have been alerted that you, or your business, are the subject of an investigation you need to call an experienced white collar criminal defense attorney IMMEDIATELY.
