Degroot may be able to help you. With nearly forty years of experience in defending clients against serious criminal allegations, we work hard to prevent charges from being filed against our clients from the start. But what exactly is white collar crime?

According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, “lying, cheating, and stealing—that’s white collar crime in a nutshell.” More specifically, they go on to note that, “a single scam can destroy a company, devastate a family by wiping out their life savings, or cost investors billions of dollars (or even all three).” From copyright infringement to identity theft and blackmail to fraud, bribery, and insider trading, white collar crimes can sometimes be seen as victimless. The truth is that although many white collar crimes are nonviolent, they can cause lasting damage to those that are affected.
