Common White Collar Offenses

White collar crimes are typically committed by individuals in positions of corporate and political power who seek to stockpile or maintain wealth through illegal means. Despite being non-violent, these crimes are treated seriously.

State or Federal Prosecution?

White collar crimes can be prosecuted at the state level by local attorneys general, but because these crimes commonly (by their nature) cross state lines, they are often investigated and prosecuted at the federal level.
