Common Questions About Theft & White Collar Crimes
Theft involves taking someone's property without their knowledge or consent. Robbery involves taking property by force or threat of force. Robbery is always a felony and carries much harsher penalties.
Embezzlement is the fraudulent taking of property by someone who was entrusted with it, such as an employee taking company funds. It is typically charged as a felony based on the amount involved.
Yes. Many white collar crimes, such as wire fraud, mail fraud, and securities fraud, are prosecuted in federal court. Federal cases carry different sentencing guidelines and require specialized defense.
If convicted, the court will likely order restitution to the victim. We can negotiate restitution amounts and payment plans as part of a plea agreement or sentencing.
Intent is a key element in most theft and fraud cases. If you lacked criminal intent, we can argue that the elements of the crime have not been met. This is a common defense in white collar cases.
Contact an attorney as soon as you suspect you are under investigation. Early intervention can sometimes prevent charges from being filed or negotiate a resolution before a case goes to court.
