Salt Lake White Collar Crime Defense
"White collar crime" typically refers to non-violent crimes which involve deception and which are motivated by financial gain. Although these crimes do not involve physical violence, they are far from being victimless crimes. In recent years, white collar crime in Utah has increased, due in part to the availability of technology that facilitates these crimes. Utah and federal prosecutors have taken strict measures to crack down on financial white collar crime. Many white collar crimes are charged as felonies.
If you are convicted of a Utah white collar or financial crime, it will have consequences beyond fines, restitution, and jail or prison time. Because these are crimes involving dishonesty, conviction will negatively impact your ability to keep or find many types of employment. You need to be prepared to aggressively fight Utah white collar crime charges.
