  • Factors that Make White Collar Crime Prosecutions Different

    Here are some of the distinguishing characteristics about white collar crimes:

    • Federal charges may be involved, which carry stiffer penalties and bigger potential consequences
    • Federal or state organizations may have conducted an in-depth investigation into the case before bringing charges against you, so the weight of the evidence may be stronger
    • Prosecutors don’t bring these types of cases without believing they’ll win, because they want good publicity

    These factors demonstrate why the choice of criminal defense lawyer you choose is so pivotal.

  • Columbus White Collar Crimes Our Lawyers Handle

Investment fraud occurs when someone provides false information to induce someone to invest in securities. Prescription drug fraud occurs when someone writes fake prescriptions or alters legitimate prescriptions.
    • RICO crimes– You could face Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) charges if you are accused of committing crimes in association with an organization.
    • Forgery – If you forge someone else’s signature on a check or other instrument, you could face charges for forgery.
    • Embezzlement Embezzlement is committed when an employee trusted to handle funds for their employer misuses the funds or steals them.
    • Theft from business – Depending on the amount involved, theft from a business can result in first-degree felony charges.
