What is white-collar crime?
White-collar crimes are non-violent crimes committed for financial gain by people in business or by business entities. Such crimes often involve sophisticated cover-up schemes. As a result, such crimes often involve a network of people using their administrative, financial, and technological skills to orchestrate criminal activity against consumers, company owners, and financial institutions. Although white-collar crimes are most often prosecuted in federal court, the Michigan Attorney General and various prosecutors throughout Michigan also handle these investigations and prosecutions.
Our white-collar criminal defense attorneys bring to the table successful experience in government investigations and complex criminal matters involving:
- Securities fraud charges
- Mail fraud charges
- Embezzlement
- Insider trading charges
- Bank fraud charges
- Money laundering charges
- Foreign Corrupt Practices Act
- Asset forfeiture
- Tax fraud charge
- Antitrust violation accusations
- Environmental torts
- Exporting issues
- RICO violations
- Extortion charges
- Conspiracy charges
- Penalties for White-Collar Criminal Convictions
Direct and Indirect Consequences of a White-Collar Criminal Conviction
White-collar criminal convictions can result in prison time and significant fines. They can also permanently ruin a person’s reputation, destroy their business, and harm their professional and personal relationships. Felony convictions involving white-collar offenses can also result in losing a professional license and the inability to obtain credit. For individuals who are not U.S. Citizens, immigration consequences, such as deportation, are an imminent concern.
