White Collar Crime Attorney in New Hampshire & Maine

New Hampshire & Maine Criminal Defense Lawyer

Also known as economic crimes, white collar crimes arise from deceptive or fraudulent acts that damage the financial state of an individual, business, or the government, itself. White collar crimes are often treated as federal offenses and are usually handled in federal court instead of at the state or county level. Common white collar crimes include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Embezzlement
• Extortion
• Forgery
• Fraud
• Money laundering
• Tax evasion
