Handling a white collar crimes case of that nature requires extra steps coupled with a thorough knowledge of the law and the related sentences. Intervention Before Arrest or Before Charges are FiledIn handling your pre-arrest case, we will contact law enforcement or the victim of the crime on your behalf, whether it is a company or individual. On many occasions, we settle these matters before any charges are filed by agreeing for you to pay back whatever money was taken. By doing that, the victim of the crime agrees not to file charges through law enforcement or the state's attorney's office. Resolving an embezzlement or fraud case prior to a charge being filed means that prosecutors and law enforcement do not have to try and piece together a complex financial scheme or other complicated evidence in a white collar crime case. A proactive approach can benefit everyone involved. There are occasions where the victim agrees to the payback proposal, but still needs to file charges for insurance purposes. To recover from their overall loss, they must show that a crime has been committed. At the court hearing, they will not ask for jail time for the person who committed a crime against them. Some victims of embezzlement or theft are just so angry that they will file charges out of sheer vengeance. If your charges cannot be resolved by pre-filing intervention, our criminal defense attorney will zealously advocate for you throughout any criminal proceedings related to fraud, embezzlement, or other theft charges.
