White Collar Crime Attorney in Michigan

The term “white collar crime” is used to refer to numerous, non-violent criminal activities. Since white-collar crimes don't involve drugs, weapons, or violence, many falsely assume they are not as serious. If you're charged with a white-collar crime and you fail to realize the severity of the situation, you could negatively impact your future in irreparable ways, and make it difficult to move on with your life after your case has wrapped up. As soon as you learn you are under investigation, you should contact an attorney who is experienced in white-collar crimes. Having a federal criminal defense lawyer in Michigan on your side will help put you on track to receive the best available outcome, protecting you from the severe harm a conviction can cause.

Common White-Collar Crimes in Michigan

White-collar crimes often involve money and, on the surface, may seem to be victimless. The most common white collar crimes in Michigan are conspiracy charges , embezzlement and fraud, forgery, racketeering, internet fraud, identity theft, money laundering, security violations, bribery, passing bad checks, falsifying business records, and credit card theft. These crimes are extremely complex, and cases require the attention of a seasoned defense attorney. Your lawyer will review every detail of your case and compile a thorough analysis of the financial documents, bank statements, and public records involved to be sure they have all of the information at their fingertips. An experienced attorney will pay close attention to every detail in order to build a successful defense.

Since white-collar crimes vary so greatly case by case, it's important to be sure the attorney you hire has worked on cases similar to your own in the past. When hiring a lawyer, ask to see their track record and be sure you feel comfortable working together. A good attorney will keep you involved in the process, explaining step by step what is happening in your case to ensure you maintain control of your life.

What Is a Federal Investigation?

If you're a target of a federal investigation, it's important to understand that what you say and do will have a big impact on the outcome of your case. It's important to hire a lawyer, especially if this is your first encounter with the criminal justice system. If you've been contacted by a police officer, chances are that you're already under investigation. Remember that you have legal rights that will help protect you from overzealous prosecutors that are investigating your case. Your lawyer will prepare you for interactions with police and serve as a barrier whenever possible. Having this shield in place will help protect you from wrongful self-incrimination and against the police twisting your words to demonstrate guilt when you are innocent.
