White Collar Crimes Attorneys in Philadelphia
White collar crimes usually refer to criminal activities that are nonviolent in nature and involve a financial element. These crimes are often quite serious and may even be prosecuted as a federal offense, carrying significant penalties such as jail time, probation, and expensive fines.
Some white collar offenses are brought in front of a grand jury before any formal charges are filed. If you have received a “target letter” saying that you are under investigation by a grand jury, you should contact an attorney immediately.
Some examples of white collar crimes include:
Credit card fraud.
Embezzlement.
Identity theft.
Money laundering.
Insurance fraud.
Tampering with records.
Forgery.
Tax evasion.

If our attorneys are able to prove that you did not intend to commit a white collar crime, you may have charges against you dismissed.
