Arizona White Collar Crime Defense Attorney
At the Law Offices of Howard A. Snader, I represent clients charged with white collar crimes. Every allegation is unique and requires a distinctive defense strategy, but in these cases my philosophy is clear. I believe in mounting an aggressive and proactive defense which uses the law and the facts to obtain the best possible result for my client.
The Stakes Involved in White Collar Crime Charges
Though the term is frequently used in Arizona, "white collar crime" really refers to crimes such as theft, embezzlement, money laundering, insurance or Internet scams, fraud in the workplace, mail fraud, or investment scams. Because the amounts of money involved in such crimes can be large, the punishments can include very long, and sometimes mandatory, prison terms. Restitution is a foregone conclusion. However, from a criminal defense perspective, the real argument is whether probation and not prison can be the final resolution.
Prevailing on Behalf of the Client
How does an astute white collar crime lawyer best defend the client? After the arrest I devise a defense posture and strategy based on the realities of the facts and the law. Knowing how to negotiate with the prosecutor, how to limit the amount of restitution, and how to challenge the victim through insurance-related documents or their own sloppy business records can often provide effective defense strategies.
I have had much success in representing clients in white collar criminal matters. These cases often require very hard work to determine and demonstrate the true facts, and then to aggressively attack the States allegations. As a Criminal Law Specialist Certified by the Arizona Board of Legal Specialization, I know how to defend these cases and obtain a satisfactory result.
