A New Jersey white collar crime lawyer at Helmer, Conley & Kasselman, P.A. can help you if you are facing serious charges in state or federal court. Each year, hundreds of individuals and businesses in New Jersey are charged with these crimes, and those that are convicted face steep penalties. If you or your business is facing these charges, you need experienced attorneys on your side, and you need to begin building your defense strategy as soon as possible.
“White collar crime” is not a single offense, but rather a general term used to describe many different types of crimes. These crimes generally involve allegations of some type of financial misconduct, and are often perpetrated through sophisticated means. At Helmer, Conley & Kasselman, P.A., our defense lawyers represent individuals and businesses charged with all types of white collar crimes, including:
Many of these crimes, such as tax fraud, may involve alleged violations of both state and federal laws. As a result, these crimes can be prosecuted at both the state and federal levels. This makes it important to work with a New Jersey white collar crime attorney who has both state and federal experience, and who is intimately familiar with the specific laws under which you are being charged.
In most cases, authorities will conduct an extensive investigation prior to bringing charges for a white collar offense. This is due to the complexity of the issues involved and the need to build a comprehensive body of evidence in order to establish the requisite probable cause for an indictment.
As a result, by the time you learn you are being targeted, state or federal authorities may have already amassed voluminous electronic and paper documents as evidence, and they may have already identified witnesses who are prepared to testify against you in court. In many cases, prosecutors will hire forensic accountants and other professionals to serve as expert witnesses and testify as to how the alleged crime was committed as well.
Individuals and businesses accused of white collar crimes face a lengthy and difficult road ahead. This is true in both federal and state court. The procedures involved are complicated, and the legal and factual issues can be extraordinarily complex. At Helmer, Conley & Kasselman, P.A., our New Jersey white collar crime lawyer has experience achieving favorable results for our clients at all stages of state and federal white collar criminal cases, and we can use this experience to your advantage.
In white collar criminal cases, the penalties can be severe. Individuals and businesses can face tens, hundreds, or millions of dollars in fines, with businesses generally facing the highest financial penalties. Individuals, including business owners and executives, can also be sentenced to serve several years, if not several decades, in state or federal prison. For example, in federal cases, the maximum sentences for some of the most-commonly-charged white collar offenses include:
White collar criminal convictions can also result in loss of eligibility for government contracts and government programs, as well as being barred from operating or working in certain businesses (i.e. a bar from the financial sector or from working for a publicly-traded company). Combined, the consequences of a white collar criminal conviction can often prove insurmountable, and this means that individuals and businesses have no choice but to fight their charges by all means available.
