The Moment You Think You Are Under Investigation, Talk to an Attorney
In difficult economic times, criminal defense lawyers are often bombarded with calls from clients who have been accused of employee theft, retail theft, embezzlement or other white collar crimes. In many cases, the client knows he or she is under investigation long before an arrest or the filing of formal charges. That is the time to contact an attorney.
White collar crime cases can be difficult to prove, because there is often a complicated chain of transactions and documentary evidence involved. Police and prosecutors often cannot prove a crime has been committed without the company's active cooperation.
That is one reason why hiring an attorney before formal charges are filed can be critical in retail or employee theft and white collar crime cases such as embezzlement. In many cases, the company does not want the negative exposure that a trial might bring. An experienced attorney may be able to negotiate a settlement that enables you to avoid criminal charges and the risk of jail time.
