Defenses to White Collar Crimes
White collar crimes encompass a broad range of nonviolent, financial offenses typically committed in the commercial and professional sectors. There are a variety of defenses that could play pivotal roles in handling those instances.
- Lack of Intent: The essential element of any crime is intent – proving that the accused did it on purpose. Our law firm defends clients by challenging the prosecutor’s assertions of intent, elucidating the elements of misunderstanding, accidental infractions or lack of knowledge regarding the legality of the actions taken.
- Entrapment: This defense is predicated upon the assertion that law enforcement officials induced the individual to commit a crime that they would not ordinarily have engaged in. Entrapment can be a highly important defense when dealing with sting operations or instances of induced fraud, for instance.
- Duress: Similar to entrapment, a client can plead the defense of duress if they were compelled to act in a criminal manner due to menace, threat, or fear of harm. Our legal team meticulously gathers and presents evidence supporting any client’s claim of being under duress when they committed the act.
- Search and Seizure Violations: Law enforcement’s adherence to proper protocol during search and seizure activities can make or break a case. If we can prove that the authorities overstepped their bounds and violated your Constitutional rights during a search and seizure, it could lead to a full dismissal of your charges.
The above illustrations are only a handful of the strategies in our arsenal. Our team relentlessly advocates for our clients, fusing facts with tenacious defense strategies to protect their rights and work towards the most favorable outcomes.
