White Collar Crimes That We Defend Against
White-collar crimes refer to financially motivated, non-violent offenses typically committed by business professionals or government officials. These crimes often involve deceit, concealment, or violation of trust for financial gain and can range from simple fraud to complex schemes.
Our Sarasota white-collar crime defense attorneys can handle cases involving the following and more:
- Embezzlement
- Money laundering
- Insider trading
- Tax evasion
- Bribery
- Identity theft
Are These Federal or State Offenses?
White-collar crimes can be handled at the state and/or federal level, depending on if the offense involved parties in multiple states, large financial losses, or actions under the jurisdiction of federal agencies like the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Additionally, these offenses may intersect with other areas of law, such as cybercrime, which can impact whether federal or state officials will prosecute them.

Penalties for White Collar Crimes in Florida
Due to the significant financial impact and harm caused by white-collar offenses, Florida and federal courts often punish them severely. In fact, our state's 2019 White Collar Crime Victim Protection Act instituted enhanced sanctions.
Penalties under state and federal law can include:
- Prison or jail time ranging from a year to decades and even life in the most severe instances
- Thousands of dollars in fines
- Restitution to victims, which can amount to thousands of dollars
- Probation/parole
- Community service
In many cases, white-collar crimes also come with collateral consequences. A conviction could sully your reputation and burn bridges with colleagues and important professional figures. It may also derail your career and make it difficult to find future employment.
