A Look at White Collar Crimes

Posted By The Law Offices of Jeffrey C. Grass || 24-Nov-2014

There are many different types of charges that fall under the category of white collar crimes. White collar crimes can be broadly defined as engaging in deceptive behaviors for the purpose of monetary gain in an unlawful or unfair manner. Some examples of charges include securities fraud, business fraud, and insurance fraud. Tax fraud is another common type of white collar crime, which often involves underreporting income or over-inflating deductions.

Internet and mail fraud are other types of offenses that are considered white collar crimes. An example is an Internet scheme that attempts to gain another person’s financial information, such as credit card numbers, for the purpose of committing identity theft. Forgery and counterfeiting are other types of white collar crimes, in addition to perjury, which refers to lying under oath. Many individuals accused of white collar crimes are professionals who lack a criminal history and never intended to commit an unlawful act. If you or a loved one has been accused of these types of offenses, secure the services of a criminal defense lawyer immediately.
