Charlotte White Collar Crime Lawyers
Complex Matters Require Complex Counsel
The term “White Collar Crime” was reportedly coined in 1939 and has since become synonymous with fraud related charges against business and government professionals. White Collar Crime is generally non-violent in nature. Even still, the charges for White Collar Crime are incredibly serious. These matters often involve large amounts of money, complicated business transactions, numerous allegations, and huge amounts of evidence to review.
The penalties for certain White Collar Crimes at the state level can be harsh, but federal charges for fraud, money laundering, or racketeering (RICO) are even more severe. The professionals accused of these activities almost always have no criminal record at all and have led by example their whole life. The justice system is a difficult and confusing place for anyone charged with White Collar Crime, and it is full of challenges and potential prison time.
