White collar crimes are nonviolent crimes committed for unlawful financial gain, usually committed by business or government professionals. Unlike other kinds of thefts, these crimes are almost always nonviolent, and the offenders often do not have any other experience with the criminal justice system. Individuals who are charged with, or who are under investigation, for white collar crimes often face both civil and criminal legal issues. Many charged with these offenses do not initially realize the gravity of their situation given that the offenses are non-violent in nature. If you are charged with a white collar crime, it is important to speak to an experienced criminal defense attorney immediately to discuss your legal options. Our Little Rock, Arkansas lawyers are ready to assist you.
Experienced litigation attorneys defending Arkansas residents in complex financial cases
Individuals accused of white collar crimes often endure the threat of prison time, substantial monetary fines, the risk of losing the respect of their peers, losing their careers, and damaging their reputation. White collar offenses are almost always charged as a felony and typically include:
- Embezzlement
- Fraud
- Money laundering
- Internet crimes
- Ponzi schemes
In addition to being high level felonies, these types of cases will often lead to federal criminal charges. The case will begin by the prosecution filing a “Criminal Information” in state court or and “Indictment” in Federal Court. Such matters involve complex facts and will require the prosecution to link the defendant to each step of the crime. Hiring an attorney who understands the intricacies of these offenses may make the difference between your freedom and a substantial prison sentence.
