White Collar Crimes

The majority of white collar crimes in New Jersey are committed by salaried professionals using deception, as opposed to violence or force, to perpetrate theft or fraud. While collar crime generally refers to non-violent financial crimes and are typically either business related or involving government employment. While these crimes may appear to be less serious offenses than are violent crimes, white collar crimes usually violate federal laws or strict state statutes and can carry severe penalties including imprisonment, fines, and restitution. White collar crimes can be either misdemeanor or felony infractions of the law, and these types of crimes can be prosecuted in state court, federal court, or both.

When you are charged with a white collar criminal offense you need experienced legal representation. Many of these offenses result in imprisonment, loss of employment, loss of pension benefits, or disqualification from public employment. Situations such as these can threaten the financial stability and future of both the accused and his or her family. Choose an attorney with 25 years of criminal defense experience to defend you against these career and freedom threatening charges.
