White Collar Crime Defense Attorneys
A white collar crime is a non-violent offense, usually by a business person or government official. It is often financially motivated, but not always, and is frequently prosecuted via a paper/electronic records trail of evidence that shows the actions of the accused.
Types of White Collar Crimes
Among the crimes prosecuted under the umbrella description of “white collar” are:
- Fraud: The use of deception, trickery and/or false statements to profit at someone else’s expense.
- Embezzlement: The unauthorized taking of assets from an entity (such as a business or organization) where the accused has access to the assets involved but not a right to use, take or distribute them.
- Extortion: Any threat that provokes the payment of money or some other asset can be considered extortion.
- Racketeering: Any illegal activity by a group (any group of more than one person) seeking financial gain from the activity.
- Computer Crimes: Using a computer or computer network to commit a white collar crime.
