White-Collar Crime: Understanding Fraud & the Consequences

The term ‘white-collar crime’ has been around for decades, and often invokes the vision of a corporate businessman or a stockbroker making illicit deals, often with fraud, to milk unsuspecting individuals and companies out of large amounts of cash. Other law enforcement agencies such as the FBI are frequently involved in complex white-collar crimes, particularly those which have a nexus to organized crime or the securities industry. While these crimes are usually connected to large corporate transactions, many individuals are charged with cyber theft and illegal online activities.

It is vital that you consult with a skilled attorney from a firm like the Dolan Law Offices as soon as possible if you have been charged with insider trading, racketeering, embezzlement, money laundering, or identity theft. Your legal issues could be even more complex if you have been charged with intellectual property infringement or theft of copyright, trademark, or patent. Counterfeiting or attempting to defraud the bankruptcy court are other matters where you will need an extremely skilled attorney to act in your best interest and protect your future.

If you are a professional who has been wrongfully accused of fraud, you are probably extremely worried about the possibility of losing your license, your reputation—and the income you rely on. These cases are complex and require a legal team highly skilled in fraud defense. With a strong legal defense, you may be able to show that there was no intent to defraud—or you may not have been involved whatsoever, and there could be a case of mistaken identity. You may have been a victim of entrapment by law enforcement, or there may have been other illegal law enforcement procedures involved during your investigation or arrest.
