WHITE COLLAR DEFENSE | Forum

White Collar Crime cases are extremely complex and the authorities often spend a year or more investigating these cases prior to filing charges. Individuals who ultimately face white-collar crime charges often know they are being investigated. There is value in hiring a white-collar crime lawyer as soon as you suspect you are the subject of a criminal investigation.
