Criminal defense representation may be necessary if there are allegations of criminal activities brought about by local, state, or federal authorities. The Federal Bureau of Investigation considers a crime a “white collar crime”, when an individual or organization has committed a non-violent criminal offense and the nature of the crime suggests that the defendant committed an act of moral turpitude, deception, or fraud.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation focus the majority of their criminal investigations in the following white collar criminal actions:
• Financial crimes
• Corporate fraud
• Health care fraud
• Mortgage fraud
• Identity theft
• Insurance fraud
• Telemarketing fraud
• Securities & Commodities fraud
• Asset forfeiture / Money laundering
Though the association of the term “white collar crime”, may appear to be less threatening than a violent crime, every year in the United States, thousands of individuals, businesses, financial institutions and organizations become victims of a white collar criminal act of deceit or deception.
