California White Collar Crimes:
White collar crimes are typically crimes of theft and deception committed by salaried professional people and do not usually involve the use of force or violence. White collar crimes can be prosecuted at the state level or federal level, or both. Penalties for being convicted of a white collar crime typically consist of fines, restitution and, in some cases, prison. The Law Offices of Joseph Hawkins Low IV are experienced in successfully handling the defense of all white collar crimes in California.
Some of the more common white collar crimes are defined below:
Bribery: corrupt payment or receipt of anything of value in return for official action.
Embezzlement: fraudulent conversion of property of another by a person in lawful possession of that property.
Extortion: forcing a person to give up property through the use of violence, fear or under pretense of authority.
Forgery: making or altering of a false writing with intent to defraud.
Fraud: an intentional perversion of truth or a false misrepresentation of a matter of fact which induces another person to part with some valuable thing belonging to him or to surrender a legal right.
Larceny: taking and carrying away of tangible personal property of another by trespass with intent to permanently (or for an unreasonable time) deprive the person of his interest in the property. (Larceny must involve personal property, and it must be capable of being possessed, and carried away.)
Perjury: willful and corrupt taking of a false oath in regard to a material matter in a judicial proceeding.
Also under the definition of white collar crimes are crimes involving computer fraud, telemarketing fraud, tax evasion, tax fraud and insurance fraud, as well as crimes committed under the jurisdiction of commodities law and securities law.
It is imperative that you hire the right criminal defense attorney to protect your legal rights. Never agree to talk to officials or answer any of their questions regarding a possible investigation into a white collar crime until you have discussed the matter with a California white collar crime attorney who is experienced in white collar crime defense and in both the state and federal court systems.
