Raleigh’s White Collar Criminal Defense Lawyer
Caring representation. Aggressive advocacy.
“White collar crime” is a general term for any deception that’s intended to divert money or gain a business advantage. Because financial crimes can involve more than one state’s legal system, they are often prosecuted federally.
Nonviolent financial crimes may not carry the stigma of other criminal charges, but a conviction can result in restitution, probation, or imprisonment. If you have been accused of a financial crime or federal drug offense (or suspect that you may be charged soon), your reputation, employability, and freedom are in jeopardy. It is imperative that you retain a qualified attorney with experience in white collar criminal defense.
Federal criminal proceedings differ significantly from those at the state level. While most of North Carolina’s crimes are investigated by local law enforcement, federal offenses are handled by the IRS, FBI, and DEA. As such, the penalties for federal convictions tend to be harsher and have particularly grave long-term consequences.
Legal standards and the rules of evidentiary admissibility vary between state and federal courts, meaning that even very reputable criminal defense attorneys may not be qualified to represent you if they lack direct experience with federal matters. Our proven track record of success in federal court allows us to offer our clients a vigorous, proactive defense when they need it most.

While a public defender, business attorney, or general criminal defense lawyer may be very skilled in their practice area, federal and white collar crimes are a distinctive niche that requires experience.
If you are accused of a financial crime or federal drug offense, your next steps are critical. Involving a qualified attorney before you are formally charged is ideal, but at any stage of the process, it is best to avoid answering questions or making statements of any kind until you have representation.
Connect with an experienced advocate as soon as possible to ensure that you fully understand your options and are prepared to actively participate in your defense.
