Fraud, theft, and financial allegations

Bakersfield White Collar Crimes Attorney

White-collar cases are financial in nature and often involve allegations of fraud, theft, or embezzlement in a business setting. They require a different defense approach from street-crime prosecutions.

White collar crimes

There are many offenses considered white-collar crimes. They are generally nonviolent, financial in nature, and often alleged to have occurred in a business environment, including fraud, theft, and embezzlement.

The archived page distinguished ordinary theft involving force or fear from white-collar allegations involving trickery or fraud used to convince another person to entrust money or property to the accused.

Common allegations

The archived page identified common white-collar allegations including larceny by false pretenses, embezzlement, trickery, fraud, real-estate fraud, and construction fraud.

A different kind of defense

Defending a white-collar case is different from defending a violent-crime accusation. The amount of money or property in question can affect punishment. The consequences can permanently alter a person’s career, finances, licensing, and reputation, making a detailed document-based defense essential.

Early intervention and preparation

The firm emphasizes hard work, favorable results, affordable representation, payment options, and a free consultation. Early intervention and vigorous preparation are crucial when investigators, employers, financial institutions, or prosecutors are already collecting records.
