Defense Against Fraud - Embezzlement - Racketeering
White collar crime is a phrase that means different things to different people. In Arizona it refers to crimes such as theft, embezzlement and fraud — in short, so-called white collar crimes often involve fraudulent business schemes. The penalties for such offenses can be significant, especially if large sums of money are involved.

This combination of experience and knowledge has allowed me to obtain favorable outcomes for many clients charged with fraud, embezzlement and other white collar crimes.

White Collar Crime Defense Strategy
My success in white collar crime cases is based on learning all the facts and understanding how to effectively negotiate with the prosecution. I understand what tactics are needed to convince the State they do not have sufficient evidence or have targeted the wrong person. I have obtained dismissals, and even prevented formal charges when hired at the first accusation.
In those cases formally prosecuted, I have obtained dismissals, not-guilty verdicts, and/or successfully negotiated lower amounts of restitution. I am not afraid to attack the accuser's financial and insurance information to obtain the evidence needed to aggressively defend my clients. I am prepared to do the work necessary to build a strong and compelling defense for a client facing fraud or theft charges.
