If you are Charged with a White Collar Crime

Because the many white collar criminal defendants have had their cases damaged by something they said or did in the early stages of an investigation, a criminal defense attorney should be consulted before any meeting with law enforcement investigators, no matter how innocuous it may seem.

What Can My Criminal Defense Attorney Do for Me?

Experienced attorneys can negotiate with the prosecutor for any of the following results:

• Charges may be dropped
• Plea agreement, where a more serious charge will be dropped if the defendant pleads guilty to a lesser charge or agrees to cooperate with ongoing investigations
• Less Severe Punishment
• A zealous defense in court

Depending on the seriousness of the crime, if you are convicted of a crime, you may receive:

• Probation
• Fines
• An order to perform public service
• An order to pay restitution
• A prison sentence
• A combination of any of the above

Civil Consequences and Liability

In addition to criminal prosecution, white collar crime may also lead to civil lawsuits, brought either by the federal or state government, or by the victims of the offense. Any civil liability imposed as a result of these suits is in addition to, and not a substitute for, the penalties imposed in the criminal case. Unlike a criminal case, a civil case does not have to be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. The standard for a civil case is a lower one - in most states, the courts require a civil case to be proven by a "preponderance of the evidence."

A civil action brought by the government or victims of white collar crimes might result in:

• Turning over to the government any profits made because of the crime
• Restitution or repayment to the victims of the offense
• Other damages that may be provided by law
• Asset forfeiture - anything purchased with the proceeds of the offense would be seized by the government, and sold at auction
