Skilled Representation In Your Embezzlement, Fraud Or Internet Crime Case
Applying a solid understanding of current technology and both Illinois and federal criminal law, we offer a variety of services for white collar individuals such as:
- Embezzlement defense for those accused of using company funds for personal use
- Fraud defense for those accused of securities fraud, mail fraud, wire fraud or industry-specific offenses such as health care fraud or mortgage fraud
- Defending those facing internet crimes charges
- Defending against allegations of money laundering and racketeering (RICO) violations
We know that the circumstances leading to your arrest or investigation may be extremely complex — and that evidence against you may include computer data, business records, an accounting trial and witness testimony. We are deeply familiar with effective strategies for challenging the prosecution’s case and for negotiating a plea or reduced sentence when the case against you is strong.
Turn To Proven Trial Lawyers And Negotiators
In a white collar crime case, our approach to protecting your future may include:
- Pursuing an acquittal or dismissal by vigorously contesting the evidence against you
- Exploring restitution as an alternative to criminal prosecution, as well as sentences that emphasize community service or counseling
- Asking family and other character witnesses to testify on your behalf
