Facing White Collar Charges? Contact an Attorney Today!
For the most part, white collar crimes are those offenses which are committed by professionals in a business-related or financial environment. They are non-violent and utilize deception rather than force as a means of carrying out the act. Some examples of white collar crimes include:
- Embezzlement
- Bribery
- Political Corruption
- Securities Fraud
- Investment Fraud
- Identity Theft
- Bank Fraud
- Tax Evasion
- Pyramid Schemes
- Counterfeiting
- Mail Fraud
- Wire Fraud
- Government Fraud
Depending upon the offense itself, a white collar crime may be charged as a state or federal crime. Many white collar offenses are classified as federal crimes because they involve crimes against the government or interstate crimes. Additionally, most white collar crimes are some form of theft by deceit, or fraud.
