How White Collar Crimes Are Classified

A white collar crime charge is given when one has committed a certain class of nonviolent crime. Individuals in a business or corporation setting are typically charged with these crimes, which can include:

  • Identity theft
  • Computer or Internet crimes
  • Extortion
  • Embezzlement
  • Insider trading
  • Racketeering
  • A variety of business or commerce related fraud

White Collar Crimes And Federal Court

White collar crime charges are often seen in federal court. This means that investigations are typically very thorough and lengthy as all suspected individuals are investigated for allegations of fraud and corruption activities.

In many white collar crime cases, a defendant may go months before learning they were under investigation in the first place, giving prosecutors extra time to build a case.

What You Should Do If You’re Being Investigated For A White Collar Crime

As soon as you are notified of an impending investigation, you should promptly contact a defense attorney. Contesting evidence or investigation results before the case goes to trial can save you a great amount of time, stress, funds and possibly most importantly, damage to one’s reputation and standing in the business community.

Another reason contacting a lawyer is such a good idea is the fact that most white collar crimes are considered felonies by the courts. As opposed to misdemeanors, felony convictions usually mean extensive jail time (typically more than a year), harsh fines and other penalties.
