Financial crimes are sometimes known as white collar crimes, but anyone with access to credit, the financial accounts of other individuals or businesses, or assets with significant monetary value may potentially commit serious theft related crimes such as:
- Bank fraud
- Counterfeiting
- Credit card fraud
- Elder exploitation
- Embezzlement
- Extortion
- Forgery
- Larceny
- Mail fraud
- Accounting fraud
- Money laundering
- Wire fraud
- Mortgage fraud
- Ponzi schemes
- Receiving stolen property
- Telemarketing fraud
- Tax evasion
White collar financial crimes are often charged as federal felony offenses and involve extensive FBI investigations. It is of critical importance that you seek the immediate counsel of an attorney who has successfully defended these types of cases in federal and state courts.
If you or a loved one is being investigated or charged in any alleged financial crimes, you should contact Mr. Clay as soon as possible to review your case. Failure to timely prepare your defense could result in the loss of important witnesses or documents. The consequences of conviction may result in spending decades in a state or federal prison, extremely burdensome fines, restitution, loss of driving privileges, community service and other difficult consequences.
