Experienced Defense For Federal White Collar Crime Charges
White collar crimes become federal matters when they cross borders, involve substantial sums of money or when they involve a federal program or organization such as the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) or the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Federal crimes are most frequently investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), but the SEC and IRS also have their own investigative branches. The United States Attorney’s Office (USAO) is the primary prosecuting body.
It may go without saying, but one of the biggest distinctions between federal and state cases is that federal bodies have substantially more resources. Also, federal laws can vary dramatically from state laws, and the penalties are often much more severe.
Federal white collar crime convictions often require mandatory minimum sentences, meaning judges have little control over your sentence. A mandatory minimum sentence could mean one to 20 years in prison, even for first offenders. Not every defense attorney is licensed to appear before federal court, but we are. We have the experience, knowledge and resources to go up against the federal government to protect your rights, whether you have been charged or you believe you are being investigated. We encourage you to contact us as soon as possible so we can create a strong white collar crime defense strategy for you.
Experienced Defense For State White Collar Crime Charges
Many people mistakenly believe that the state does not take white collar crimes seriously. On the contrary, Texas prosecutes white collar offenses thoroughly and tends to seek the harshest possible charges and sentences. It often invests hundreds of thousands of dollars and months of time into its white collar investigations, and may team with federal agencies. Facing both state and federal charges for the same or related crimes is a possibility.
These investigations may be led by the Attorney General of Texas or district attorneys, working in conjunction with local law enforcement. Texas even has the Financial Crimes Intelligence Center (FCIC), which works to investigate organized financial crimes.
No matter who is investigating you or who has issued the charges, it is critical that you reach out to our experienced white collar crime lawyers as soon as possible. We have experience going up against all of the agencies involved and are committed to defending you.
