Dallas White Collar Crime Lawyer

White Collar Crime Definition

White collar crimes are typically financial crimes where a fiscal loss is incurred in a business or government transaction due to illegal activity. It is important to note that there is no clear-cut definition of a white collar crime, although these offenses are most often committed by professionals in corporate capacities. Due to the complex nature of these crimes, choosing a truly excellent and exceptional Dallas white collar crime attorney is not merely an option if you wish to win your case-it is a necessity.

Types of White Collar Crimes We Defend Against

Whether your situation involves a business dispute, allegations of tax evasion or some type of electronic transaction, you are presumed innocent unless proved otherwise in court. A case can become complicated if agencies such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation or U.S. Customs and Border Protection are involved. Our legal team is equipped to handle both interstate and across-the-border issues.

There are many types of crimes that can fall under the umbrella of white collar crimes:

  • Insurance fraud
  • Bank fraud
  • Mail and wire fraud
  • Honest services fraud
  • Embezzlement
  • Money laundering
  • Violations of the Racketeer Influenced & Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO)
  • Computer / Internet crimes
  • Bribery / corrupt influence
  • Telecommunications crimes
  • Healthcare fraud
  • Tax fraud
  • Fraud related to pensions and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA)
  • Records reporting violations
  • Obstruction of justice

Penalties for Committing a White Collar Crime in Texas

Many white collar offenses are dealt with in federal court. Most or all can be charged as felonies. All aspects of your case must adhere to a strict interpretation of state and federal law. The consequences can be significant for a white collar crime and may include the following:

  • incarceration
