Defense for White Collar Crime Charges in Hudson Valley

"White collar crime" is a phrase coined to describe financially motivated criminal offenses like fraud or embezzlement.

Indictment for White Collar Crimes

In serious or complex cases, like many white collar crimes are, the defendant can be indicted by a grand jury. The other option would be for the prosecutor (either a state prosecutor or U.S. Attorney for federal cases) to file charges directly with the court. White collar crime indictments often include many separate counts. Example: 4 counts of fraud, 10 counts of intellectual property theft, and 5 counts of money laundering.
