Recent years have witnessed more and more executives being investigated or prosecuted for white-collar crime. Early decisions about what to say or do when an agent calls can makes an important difference to your future, so it is imperative to contact an experienced white collar crime attorney to obtain the proper legal advice at the first sign of trouble, whether it be an administrative summons from the IRS or SEC, a subpoena for business records from a grand jury or a visit from an agent.

The offenses associated with white-collar investigations cover a range of illegal activities in the business world. Our lawyers help people charged with many kinds of white-collar crime, including:

• Bank Fraud

Law enforcement agencies that investigate white-collar crime typically are not local police departments. Federal and state authorities recognize white-collar crime as a serious problem and have assigned numerous agencies to deal with the problem. A person suspected of white-collar crime may face investigators from various County Prosecutors' Offices or the State Attorney General’s Office,and federal agencies such as the FBI, Secret Service, Treasury Department, IRS or SEC.

Recently increased federal sentencing guidelines and penalties for white-collar crime highlight the government’s view that such offenses are to be treated harshly. From fines to imprisonment, white collar crime punishment is often similar to the penalties assigned to violent street criminals or drug distributors.

It is critical to seek competent, experienced counsel from an experienced white-collar crime lawyer from the earliest moment you suspect you or your company are involved in a potential criminal investigation.
