Phoenix White Collar Crime Lawyer
White-collar crime can bring to mind images and quotes from “Office Space” with the lead character’s description of white-collar federal prison as a haven and resort away from life. However, our Phoenix white-collar crime lawyer at Ryan Garvey Attorneys, PLC knows that is not the case; federal prison is still incarceration with all its nuts and bolts.
White-collar crime involves very serious state and federal offenses that, upon conviction, can lead to years in prison, fines, and a bleak future. Many people associated with white-collar defendants often end up under investigation and charged as well.
If you have been charged as the principal actor or as a mere associated contact, either situation is frightening. Depending on your charge, you may face federal or state jail time. Therefore, you must contact an experienced white-collar criminal defense attorney as soon as possible to increase your chances of the most favorable outcome.
Contact us online or at (602) 353-7328 to consult with our Phoenix white-collar crime attorney to determine your best defense strategy.
What Is White Collar Crime in Arizona?
White-collar crime refers to financially motivated, non-violent crimes committed by businesses, financial consultants, government officials, and other professionals. It's named for the white shirts traditionally worn by office workers, implying crimes committed in professional settings.
Typically, these offenses involve deceit, theft, or violation of trust rather than direct physical force. The complexity and sophistication of white-collar crimes mean they can be challenging to investigate and prosecute, requiring a deep understanding of financial systems, legal frameworks, and regulatory practices.
Common types of white-collar crime include but are not limited to:
- Fraud: Deception intended to result in financial or personal gain, including insurance fraud, mail fraud, and wire fraud, among many others.
- Insider trading: Buying or selling stocks based on confidential information unavailable to the public.
- Money laundering: Concealing the origins of illegally obtained money, typically passing it through a complex sequence of banking transfers or commercial transactions.
