The federal government is getting increasingly tough on white collar crimes. However, they still must go through extensive investigations before an indictment. People who believe they may be under investigation have plenty of opportunity to get protection from a lawyer. Waiting to contact an attorney could be your most costly mistake.
Of course, not all white collar crime cases are brought to federal court; some are state charges. But federal prosecutors are increasingly focused on white collar crime cases. The federal judicial system is significantly different from the state system, and an attorney experienced in federal crimes is a necessity.
White collar crime generally refers to crimes involving business professionals or other individuals who use deception for financial gain. In most cases, white collar crime charges are handled in federal courts rather than state courts. Individuals arrested or under investigation for white collar crime offenses will likely face an aggressive, resourceful prosecution and harsh sentences if convicted. Many criminal defense attorneys are not prepared or equipped to handle such serious cases, which is why you must arm yourself with an attorney who can truly help you. The skilled attorney team at Texaswhitecollarcrime is that law office. We will not only handle your case, we will defend it aggressively, and to the best of our ability. If you feel you are under investigation for a state of federal white collar crime, The Law Offices of Richard C. McConathy promptly informs clients how to respond; don't talk to anyone without an attorney! Your silence cannot be used against you. However, statements made to the police without the presence of an experienced lawyer by your side can seriously jeopardize your defense options.
The United States Attorney's Office will make the final determination if a charge/case is to be accepted for federal prosecution. In cases where no federal jurisdiction exists or the federal prosecutor has declined to initiate charges, the matter will be prosecuted by the state through the District Attorney's Office.
