Atlanta, Georgia White Collar Criminal Defense Attorney
White collar crime typically refers to a type of crime committed by business people, entrepreneurs, public officials, and professionals through deception, usually done in order to obtain large quantities of money. Thus, any financial crime is typically classified as a white collar crime. Often, in prosecuting white collar crimes, a charge of conspiracy will be brought. People who have no or very little involvement in a criminal enterprise can find themselves targeted by investigators after other defendants name them in a deal they've cut with prosecutors.

Avoiding Obstruction of Justice Charges
Too often, people who learn they are under investigation make the mistake of destroying or withholding documents from investigators. Doing so, however, may constitute obstruction of justice. As a result, people who were found innocent of the criminal charges against them have been sent to prison after being convicted for obstruction of justice. If you contact our attorneys early on in an investigation, we can help you comply with investigators without incriminating yourself. In some instances, we may be able to assert your rights when it's clear investigators are on a "fishing expedition," pre-empting further investigation of you.
