White Collar Crime Lawyers and Attorneys

White collar defence attorneys represent individuals and companies in fraud and financial crime matters: wire and mail fraud, securities and accounting fraud, embezzlement, money laundering, tax offences, health care fraud, bribery and public corruption, and antitrust prosecutions.

Much of the work happens before charges exist — during a grand jury investigation, a regulatory inquiry, a subpoena for documents, or an internal investigation. What is done in that stage often determines whether an indictment ever arrives.

Before you hire

• Call at the first sign of an investigation: a subpoena, an agent at the door, a target letter, a regulator's document request.
• Ask about federal court experience specifically, including the sentencing guidelines and negotiation with prosecutors.
• If your employer is also under investigation, ask about conflicts. Company counsel does not represent you.
• Preserve documents and stop deleting anything. Obstruction charges are frequently easier to prove than the underlying offence.

Securities law, tax law and health care law overlap heavily with this practice.
