What Makes White Collar Crimes Different?
White collar crimes are typically prosecuted in federal courts. As with any federal charge, a white collar crimes charge is governed by the Federal Sentencing Guidelines and the Federal Rules of Evidence. Moreover, these cases are handled by federal prosecutors who have a much lighter case load and far more resources than prosecutors at the state level. Despite this, there are still a number of defenses available to a defendant charged with a white collar crime. As these cases often involve complex financial documents and business concepts, however, it is critical to retain an attorney familiar with white collar crimes.
