The Process of Representation in a White Collar Crime Case
‘White collar crimes’ typically refer to offenses conducted by professionals. White collar offenses can be committed by corporations in addition to individuals.
Although white collar crimes are nonviolent in nature, state and federal governments take these offenses very seriously as they typically involve fraud and financial gain. There are state agencies that investigate white collar crimes within the state, as well as federal agencies that look for financial frauds that span across multiple states.
If you have been arrested on a white collar crime charge, then you need to hire a professional who understands this specific kind of law. Once you retain a white collar crime attorney from the law offices of Rudolf, Smith, Griffis & Ruggieri, LLP, we will speak with you about the details of the case, including the evidence of the case from your side and from the side of the prosecution or law enforcement. Once the facts of the case and all the evidence are uncovered, a decision will be made on whether to go to trial or work towards a plea bargain.
Sentences for convictions of white collar crimes vary drastically, from community service, probation and disgorgement, to restitution, fines, and imprisonment. However, a major issue that arises before a sentence can be handed out is the issue of intent. If proof can be shown that intent was not malicious and a mistake was made, then the defense has an advantage in pleading for a lighter sentence.
