White-Collar Defense
White-collar crime is generally characterized as crimes committed in a business or a government setting—embezzlement, fraud, misuse of computers, etc.
These are typically felonies and, as such, can result in fines and prison.
We’ve handled these kinds of cases in the federal courts and defended clients from agencies such as the SEC, CFTC, and more.
