What constitutes a white collar crime under New Jersey or federal law?
The term “white collar crime” refers to a wide range of loosely related and, in some cases, unrelated activities that are thought of as nonviolent and financially motivated. Some of the crimes most often considered to be white collar include:
- Bribery
- Corruption
- Embezzlement
- Environmental violations
- Forgery
- Fraud
- Identity theft
- Intellectual property theft
- Medicaid fraud
- Money laundering
- Social Security fraud
- Workers' compensation fraud
When the state or federal government brings any of these charges, they must support the charges with evidence that often includes a convoluted and tenuous paper trail. Our white collar defense attorney has decades of experience examining this type of evidence and picking it apart to find flaws in the case against you. We work with you to craft a solid and aggressive defense so that you can avoid incarceration, fines or other punishments. It is important to start building your defense as soon as you suspect you may be the subject of an investigation. We understand that even an accusation of illegal activity can wreak havoc on your career and business relationships, so our legal team works as discreetly as possible to protect your reputation.
