North Carolina Fraud and Embezzlement Defense Lawyer
Non-violent crimes such as fraud or embezzlement are considered "white collar crimes" because such offenses are often committed by executives and management personnel with access to business or bank financial accounts. Often, fraud and embezzlement lack one single victim, and instead may target entire institutions or businesses. Federal charges involving bank embezzlement, securities fraud or other white collar crimes are often the most complex cases to investigate and defend. Often, federal prosecutors have been investigating the crime for weeks and months before preferring charges against a person. Defense attorneys must have the experience to understand prosecutor strategies and to prepare the strongest defense, often based on suppression of illegal evidence and the constitutional prohibition against illegal search and seizure of assets.
