White-Collar Crime Cases

“White-collar” crime is one of the larger areas of federal criminal law, and one which law enforcement has increasingly focused on in recent years. White-collar crimes are those in which a person or group uses commercial situations for financial gain. The perpetrators often rely on sophisticated means to conceal their activities, usually through a series of complex transactions.

Prosecutors and judges take these cases very seriously, and the penalties for white-collar crimes can be severe. Those penalties are likely to be even harsher in the event that a court finds that the accused has engaged in an “aggravated” offense, or what the law defines as a “pattern of related felony conduct.”

Defenses in Federal Cases

The good news is that there are a number of legal tools available to help criminal defendants fight the charges against them when they are represented by an experienced federal defense attorney One is the statute of limitations, which creates time limits under which the government must charge a person with a crime. Federal white-collar cases typically operate under a five-year statute of limitations, meaning that the government must charge a defendant within five years of the time that the crime was “completed.” Some offenses, however, may be considered “continuing crimes.” That includes crimes for which the effects continue long after the criminal work is finished and those that take place over several states. In these cases, the statute of limitations is often considered to be extended in order to allow prosecution.
