Why Do I Need an Attorney?

Simply, if you are convicted of a white collar crime you could face severe state and federal sentencing, not to mention considerable fines and restitution. You can be charged in both state and federal court. The charges may be different, but the underlying activity or basis of the charge is the same.

The amount of prison and probation time will be closely tied to the value or amount of loss. Basically, what is the amount of loss the government can prove?

We read about it every day in the newspaper. Formerly well-respected businessmen, businesswomen, politicians and government agency officials are doing serious prison time and being ordered to pay millions in fines. The cultural paradigm has shifted through the economic uncertainties of recent years. Government agencies will spend countless hours and dollars to defend principles threatened by potential white collar criminals. Media-created witch hunts have the public thirsty for blood.

Chronology

Keep in mind that if you under investigation or have been charged with a white collar crime, timing is critical. The fate of your case rests in how the investigation proceeds. Call our fraud defense attorneys before you speak with the authorities and investigators. The earlier we're involved, the better. We may be able to control the scope and depth of the investigation. We may be able to prevent an arrest at work, being taken into custody and bail requirements.

Typically, however, you will be issued a target of investigation letter or called by the FBI or some other federal agency to let you know you are under investigation. If this has happened to you, call us now. Do not hesitate. You reputation, livelihood and freedom are all at stake.

If you are already under investigation or have been arrested, do no fret. We are experienced at coming into white collar crime and fraud matters from any point in the investigation to once an indictment has been handed down.
