White Collar Crimes

“White collar crime” is the term used for intricate financial crimes committed for financial gain. What sets white collar crimes apart is that they are most often pursued as federal — not state — crimes. The federal court system can be complicated and confusing, and finding an attorney who can help you effectively navigate through its complexities can make the difference between victory and defeat.

Embezzlement

Embezzlement is the misappropriation of funds by someone in a position of trust. These cases often involve complex financial records, and we work meticulously to build a defense that challenges the prosecution’s narrative and seeks the best possible outcome.
