What Constitutes a White Collar Crime?
White collar crimes are criminal offenses typically committed against an employer or business by a professional, employee, businessman or public official. White collar crimes include both felony and misdemeanor offenses which can be filed in state or federal courts. However, most charges are felonies that are prosecuted in federal courts.

Pre-File Representation and Success
