Toledo White Collar Crime Lawyers
Effective, Detail-Oriented Defense from Patituce & Associates
"White collar crime" is a term used to describe crimes that are financially motivated and usually take place in the corporate sphere (hence "white collar"). These charges are almost always complex and often hinge upon an alleged paper trail of evidence and large quantities of data. Not every firm is equipped to handle these cases, so it is highly recommended that you carefully consider your prospective counsel before moving forward with your defense.
At Patituce & Associates, our Toledo attorneys have more than three decades of experience the criminal defense practice area, including with financial crime cases. Our team members have navigated trials on both sides of the courtroom and have an intimate understanding of how both the state of Ohio and the federal government pursues white collar crime convictions. We're ready to provide vigilant and exacting counsel and ensure that—throughout every stage of your case—your rights remain a priority.
We're ready to help you explore your legal options during this uncertain time. Contact us today to request a free and confidential phone consultation.
Types of White Collar Crimes
Essentially, white collar crimes consist of different forms of theft and fraud that often involve high-level financial transactions among major corporate entities. Often, those accused are believed to be falsifying information or misrepresenting themselves for financial gain.
Our firm is ready to handle white collar crime cases involving:
- Mortgage fraud
- Embezzlement
- Counterfeiting
- Tax fraud
- RICO
- Securities fraud
- Theft from business
- Forging, selling, or distributing forged identification cards
Much like theft crimes, the severity of a white collar crime charge often relies on the value of the money or property that was allegedly stolen. Sometimes these numbers are speculative—and inflated—because the investigative agency isn't certain where the money went. At our firm, we will consult with experts and accountants when necessary to evaluate the evidence against our clients and ensure that clear and concise facts are ready to be presented to the judge and jury.
Do not hesitate to start mounting a compelling defense against these allegations. Call our Toledo white collar crime attorneys at (419) 597-5849 today. We are available 24/7.
