Experienced Defense Against White Collar Crime Charges in Quartz Hill, Palmdale & Surrounding Areas
White collar crimes are generally nonviolent criminal offenses committed for financial gain through deceit, misrepresentation, abuse of trust or fiduciary duty, or through hidden means. They often involve persons in a position of authority or trust, such as accountants, investment brokers, and more.
These crimes are aggressively investigated and prosecuted by law enforcement, especially when they deal with large groups of victims who have lost substantial sums or otherwise been financially damaged.
If you are under criminal investigation for white collar crime or if you have been formally charged, it is critical to retain experienced legal representation as soon as possible.

If you are convicted of such an offense, you could face lengthy prison sentences, fines, restitution to victims, and probation.
California can also increase these penalties if your offense involves stealing more than $100,000 and you have prior similar felonies. Furthermore, your property and assets may be seized by the court. In less serious criminal cases, alternative punishments may include house arrest (known as home detention) in lieu of jail time.
Collateral damage will also ensue from a white collar crime conviction, causing the loss of professional licenses and a serious blow to your reputation. After a white collar crime conviction, it may difficult to find employment, and you may be barred from securing new professional licenses.
