Preparing A Custom-Tailored Defense
White collar crimes are crimes that do not involve any violence but instead result in illegal financial gain.

- Tax evasion – Lying about the details of your taxes and income to minimize what you owe in taxes
- Embezzlement – Reallocating funds that belong to a business or other institution and using them for private matters
- Insider trading – Making stock exchanges based on privileged or confidential business information
- Money laundering – Hiding the origins of money you illegally obtained but shuffling the funds through multiple accounts and businesses
- Corporate crimes – When an individuals act for the benefit of their company through illegal means
