White Collar Crime

White-collar crime is a broad term that covers a variety of non-violent crimes that are alleged to involve cheating in one form or another. Examples of white-collar crime include allegations of fraud in its various forms, bribery, insider trading, environmental crime, embezzlement, forgery, tax evasion, kickbacks, and money laundering.

We are experienced at defending clients against such allegations during the investigative stage or at trial as well as at sentencing or on appeal.
