Most of our readers in California have probably heard the term “white collar crime.” This is a term that this commonly used to refer to crimes such as embezzlement, fraud, forgery or other crimes that are, in general, non-violent in nature and, usually, involve money. While this may seem straightforward, the fact is that planning a defense strategy to white collar crime charges can be challenging.
Defense options
If you have been charged with a white collar crime, the evidence against you might be quite strong. These types of cases are built over time by law enforcement officials and the prosecution because the details can be so specific and can track meticulous financial transactions and account balances. From the start, defendants and their attorneys must be able to comb through all of the evidence that has been gathered in the case and that the prosecution plans to use to pursue a conviction.
Of course, every white collar crime case is different, with different fact patterns and circumstances. And, a defendant’s decision on whether or not to attempt to reach a “plea bargain” or push the case to trial can be a difficult one. All options must be considered in these types of cases.
