California White Collar Crime Lawyers
White collar crime dates back to the 1930's
when the term was first used to describe non-violent crimes that
occurred in the workplace by professionals for personal financial
gain. When a business person commits a white collar crime, he
or she uses some form of fraud or deception to acquire funds or
property.
There are a variety of offenses that fall
under the category of white collar crime, including:
- Bankruptcy Fraud
- Computer Crime
- Conspiracy
- Counterfeiting
- Credit Card Fraud
- Embezzlement
- Extortion
- Forgery
- Fraud
- Internet Fraud
- Money Laundering
- Perjury
White collar crimes may be prosecuted at
the State or Federal level, depending upon the crime that the
defendant has been accused of. If an individual is convicted of
committing a white collar crime, or business crime, their punishment
may consist of monetary fines, a prison sentence, or house arrest.
These enormous penalties take away your personal freedom and can
often destroy your reputation as a respected business person.
We understand that as a professional, you
have worked long and hard to become successful. Having your name
associated with a criminal hearing can be humiliating and very
difficult to overcome. You should not have to risk losing all
that you have earned, due to being accused of white collar crime.
At the Lombardo Law Office we
want to help keep you out of jail and let you get back to business
as usual as quickly as possible.
