White Collar Crimes: Defending Your Reputation and Freedom

When it comes to criminal charges, most people think of violent crimes such as assault, robbery, or murder. However, white collar crimes can be just as serious and damaging. These are non-violent crimes of a financial nature, often committed by businesses or organized crime rings. But individuals can also face charges or arrests for white collar crimes. If you are in need of a Westchester County white collar criminal defense lawyer, you can rely on Spodek Law Group to help.

What To Do If You Are Facing Charges

If you are currently facing charges for white collar crimes or believe that you will be arrested, you need a white collar criminal defense lawyer who will take the time to gather evidence and defend your rights. Even an accusation of a crime of this nature can impact your reputation or put your business in jeopardy. It is important that you hire an attorney who cares about the outcome of your case.

Punishment for White Collar Crimes

A white collar crime may be punishable with a massive fine and penalty, a lengthy prison sentence, or both. As a professional, corporate executive, or company, a charge alone can ruin your reputation. Many times an arrest can lead to the loss of a professional license, and arrests are also reported to professional licensing agencies.

Protecting Your Reputation

If our legal services are retained early enough in the process, our goal will be to try to prevent an arrest and the resulting public embarrassment. If we are retained after an arrest, our attorneys aggressively defend the criminal charge as well as your reputation through carefully planned statements in response to the prosecution or a professional agency.

Understanding Your White Collar Crime Charge

White collar crimes are usually serious felonies where the minimum prison sentence is one year. In federal court, prison sentences are determined by the federal sentencing guidelines. Sometimes, a probation sentence is not available and prison time is mandated, making it critical that you have aggressive defense on your side.

In most instances, it can take years for the prosecution to build a case. Having an attorney by your side to speak directly to law enforcement is always advisable. Our clients never speak to law enforcement unless we are sitting next to them and we advise them to answer a question. Our clients are never left alone.

Your property can also be threatened, as restitution can be required for certain offenses, resulting in the government seizing homes, cars, boats, or any unprotected asset. You need serious defense, and we are always available to meet and discuss legal strategy and the best white collar crime defense.
