Defending Against White Collar Crimes in New York

White collar crime refers to offenses against the law that are almost solely motivated by financial gain, and occur without violence or even physical contact between criminal and victim. Lawyers, stock brokers, doctors, businessmen, and other types of professionals all fear white collar crime charges because even the slightest hint of professional malpractice can seriously damage a career that has taken a lifetime to build.

Since white collar crimes often involve federal laws, or because criminal and victims are located in different states, such offenses are often prosecuted at the federal level, further increasing the severity of the consequences.

Secure Your Defense Early in White Collar Investigations

Federal and white collar cases are exceptionally complicated. Authorities sometimes spend years building such a case. If you are the subject of such an inquiry, you will almost certainly know about it very early in the process. Do not waste the time this gives you. If you think you are being investigated for a white collar or federal crime in the Eastern or Southern Districts of New York, contact the lawyers at Collins Gann McCloskey & Barry PLLC as soon as possible.

Conspiracy vs Money Laundering

Charges like conspiracy and money laundering can encompass startlingly broad and diverse conduct. A conspiracy can occur even if the criminal object of the conspiracy never occurs. Money laundering can be as simple as a small bank deposit if the source of the money was criminal behavior. The earlier you retain experienced criminal defense attorneys, the sooner they can begin working to have the charges against you dropped or reduced. When brought into the process early enough, an attorney who understands the protocols of white collar prosecution may be able to work with state and federal prosecutors to prevent prosecution altogether.
