Assisting individuals who have been accused of white collar crimes
White collar crimes are criminal offenses that use non-violent means to wrongfully achieve financial gain. While white collar crimes can be committed by anyone, they are often committed by professionals, government officials, or people with access to private client information. White collar crimes are actively investigated by authorities and have the potential to result in stiff criminal sanctions from significant financial penalties to major jail time if you are convicted. If you have been charged with, or are under investigation for, a white collar offense, it’s critical to retain a qualified Connecticut criminal defense attorney as soon as possible.
