Queens County White Collar Crime Attorney
White Collar Defense Lawyer in New York
White collar crime involves everything from stealing a few pens from the office to multi-billion dollar losses caused by Ponzi/Madoff schemes and thefts from the government by unscrupulous employees and contractors. The common denominator of white collar crime is that it almost never involves violence and always occurs in a business-related context. While there may not be a regular person as a victim, white collar crime probably costs the public more than classic blue collar crimes such as burglary, larceny or robbery. We only need to remember the recent catastrophic ruination caused by Bernard Madoff.
White collar crimes generally come to light as a function of a manager in industry or government finding something is wrong in terms of the actual assets being significantly less than what is being reported or upon the complaint of a disgruntled employee or co-worker.
White collar matters generally leave a paper trail and as such they are difficult to defend against. That is why it is so important for you to obtain competent counsel before there is an arrest made. As soon as a person finds out that there is an investigation and that they may be directly or peripherally involved, they must seek the advice and consultation of competent counsel.
If you are aware of the possibilities of a white collar prosecution, you should immediately hire an experienced attorney to advise you and help you with your case. Some cases should be tried because the quantum of evidence is not sufficient to convict. On other cases, the wise client determines that an early entrance into a plea negotiation is appropriate.
