Michigan Criminal Defense Lawyers

People often use the expression white collar crime to refer to crimes that typically do not involve violence and often involve money. The defense of these charges can be complex and often requires familiarity with other areas of expertise, such as accounting, banking or medicine. In terms of the penalties and consequences of conviction, however, these crimes can be just as serious, if not more, than other more common crimes.

The Grand Rapids white collar criminal defense lawyers at Willey & Chamberlain defend clients involved in all types of white collar crime cases, ranging from accounting fraud to insider trading, including those involving:

Health Care Fraud Tax Evasion Fraud Embezzlement Medicare and Medicaid Fraud ERISA Violations Pension Plan Fraud Business Crimes Accounting Fraud Insider Trading Securities Fraud

Anti-Trust Violations Kickbacks Money Laundering Bankruptcy Fraud Insurance Fraud Mail Fraud Wire Fraud Retail Fraud Telemarketing Fraud Perjury False Statements

What sets white collar crimes apart from other offenses is ordinarily the length and scope of the prosecution's criminal investigation and, as a result, the complexity of the defense. Often an investigation will take many months, and even years, putting at risk your reputation, livelihood and liberty.

Taking an active role early in the investigative stages, and being aware of your rights and obligations, is essential to having a solid defense in the event charges are brought. Often, what appears to be an insurmountable problem can be managed, or minimized, with a creative and effective defense strategy.
