New Jersey Federal White Collar Crime Lawyer & Law Firm

Q: Who Prosecutes White Collar Crimes?

Federal authorities typically investigate and prosecute white collar crimes. These crimes frequently cross state lines and therefore must be prosecuted at a federal level. Federal prosecutors have a lot of motivation to pursue these cases because there is often a lot of money involved.

Q: Are People Who Commit Federal White Crimes Treated Leniently?

A common misconception people have about federal white crimes is that they are treated leniently. However, just because these crimes don’t include violence, does not mean that the law treats them lightly. These crimes can cause people to lose millions of dollars, so they are taken very seriously. Perpetrators can face heavy fines and prison time.

Q: If I Want to Plead Guilty, Do I Need a Lawyer?

If you are guilty of committing a federal white crime, you might wonder if it is still necessary to retain a lawyer. The truth is that it is still wise to have a skilled lawyer on your side. You might not realize the serious penalties of your crime. A federal white collar crime lawyer in New Jersey can thoroughly explain your legal options and may be able to negotiate a lighter sentence with the prosecutor. If you plead guilty right away, you may face harsher penalties.

Q: Can I Find Employment After Being Convicted of a Federal White Collar Crime?

One of the main concerns people charged with federal crimes is their employment prospects. If you get convicted of a white collar crime, you may have more difficulty getting a job. Since the crimes involve dishonesty, employers may have trouble trusting you and may fear that you may do something similar in the future. Nonetheless, it’s still important to be honest about past convictions with potential employers and explain how you have changed your ways.

Your lawyer will know the ins and outs of federal law and be able to do their best to protect your rights.

White Collar Federal Crimes include:

Is a Lawyer Expensive?

In the grand scheme of things, it is much less expensive to hire a lawyer than to be convicted of a crime. If you are found guilty, you may need to pay exorbitant fines and spend even up to decades in federal prison. Both of these situations would be a nightmare, so it is absolutely crucial that you have someone who is knowledgeable in federal laws on your side. Your lawyer will know whether or not you committed a crime and how to best come up with a good defense to protect your freedom. This is ultimately going to be far less expensive than being found guilty of a white-collar crime.

Repercussions for Being Found Guilty

If you are found guilty of committing a white-collar crime, you will likely have to pay an enormous amount of fines and may even get extensive time in federal prison. Your freedom will never look the same. Even when you do get out of prison, this will be on your record permanently and it may be difficult to find a job, or a place to live, and may even affect your interpersonal relationships. This is why it is so crucial to have an experienced lawyer on your side who can protect your rights.
