Today more than ever officers of corporations are under even more scrutiny than ever before. More and more companies are finding their officers charged with embezzlement, banking fraud, mail fraud, credit card fraud, computer fraud, internet fraud and E-bay fraud, Medicaid and Medicare fraud, insurance fraud, identity fraud, securities, revenue-recognition and public-accounting fraud, insider-trading, Title 15 and CFR securities non-compliance, and Sarbanes-Oxley issues, mail, wire, tax-related and computer fraud, trade-secret theft environmental and health and safety violations, antitrust violations or import-export and money-laundering violations. Many of these crimes not only carry severe penalties on the state level, but may also result in federal charges being filed.

Most companies (and individuals) are aware when they are being investigated for potential white collar crimes charges allowing them to seek competent legal assistance much sooner than if you were facing other types of charges. It is, however, imperative that you secure competent legal counsel almost immediately from an attorney who understands the civil, criminal and regulatory issues that may be raised in the course of an investigation or when charges are being filed. In many cases, it is possible to prevent charges from ever being filed or work out an agreement to prevent possible prosecution.

Discussing white collar crimes with investigators, police or regulatory agencies before speaking with a fully qualified attorney can lead to many errors in judgment and may also result in charges being filed that might have been avoided.
