Effective White Collar Crime Defense
Most of the same legal concepts and doctrines apply to white collar crimes as to more violent, conventional crimes. However, white collar prosecutions are often much more factually complex and involve a number of complicated legal issues that must be resolved. Prosecution may be in state court, federal court or sometimes both.
