Non-violent criminal acts which usually involve deceptive legal practices are known as white collar crimes. When you are accused of white collar crimes, such as forgery, fraud, embezzlement, money launder, and RICO or racketeering charges, you need to know what this involves. For example, forgery involves the illegal signing of documents in which you stated you had the authority to sign, but you did not. Fraud involves a a serious act in which you used deceitful practices to make it appear that you were offering something you were not or did not have in your possession, or the purposeful, wrongful, or criminal deception intended to result in financial or personal gain. These are serious charges and, because funds derived from such a manner are often received illegally, they can also involve corresponding theft charges.
White collar crime charges tend to involve a complicated and involved "paper trail" of evidence derived from the computer history of the accused, which may be obtained through legal channels. Prosecutors will often seek imprisonment, coupled with restitution for the victims of such non-violent offenses due to the loss of money or status derived from doing business with you. Your reputation, freedom, and lifestyle are at risk after white collar crimes charges are brought against you.
When you find yourself in this sort of precarious legal situation, you need an experienced DuPage County white collar crimes lawyer to handle your case. At Law Offices of Salvatore C. Miglore & Associates, we focus on white collar crimes, including fraud and forgery, and compiling a solid defense.

Most fraud and forgery charges (and other white collar crimes) are investigated for years by the federal government before charges are filed, which results in a large amount of evidence obtained prior to an arrest.

Therefore, the moment you become aware of pending investigations against you, consult with skilled lawyer about your situation.
