"White collar crime" is a broad term that covers a wide range of offenses committed without the aid of violence. It covers all forms of fraud, business or employee theft, embezzlement, identity theft, breach of trust, money laundering and other financial crimes. It can also cover such public corruption offenses as bribery, extortion, wire fraud or campaign finance violations.

Although white collar crimes seldom involve the threat of personal violence, they can be very harshly punished, especially in the federal system. With the help of our law firm, however, you can expand your legal options for a favorable result.

Just as in any other criminal prosecution, a white collar crime defendant is protected by the presumption of innocence. The government must prove your guilt beyond a reasonable doubt before you can be lawfully convicted. Our job is to make the prosecution's job as difficult as possible by exposing weaknesses in its evidence, inconsistencies in the statements of its witnesses, and poor decisions in the selection of the charges filed against you.

Our work on your behalf not only improves your chances at trial. It also gives you leverage in plea negotiations with the government, whether you're facing California state charges or a federal indictment.

For additional information concerning our ability to represent your interests vigorously and effectively across the whole range of white collar charges, contact a knowledgeable criminal defense attorney at any of our locations in Van Nuys, Lancaster, West Covina, downtown Los Angeles or throughout Southern California.
