Theft / White Collar Crimes & Internet Crimes

White Collar Crimes Defense Lawyers in West Palm Beach, Florida

Convictions for Internet crimes, white collar crimes and theft come with significant penalties including expensive fines, long prison terms and possible restitution payments. When you are facing charges of Internet crime, white collar crime or any form of theft, you need an experienced and knowledgeable attorney representing you — you need the Law Offices of Richard W. Springer, P.A.

White collar crimes

White collar crimes generally involve nonviolent theft committed for financial gain. Many white collar crimes involve professional people with no history of criminal activity. Common white collar charges include:

Counterfeiting
Embezzlement
Extortion
Identity theft
Money laundering
Pyramid schemes
Racketeering/RICO
Tax evasion/tax fraud
Forgery (including writing bad checks)
Fraud (such as credit card fraud, computer fraud or mortgage fraud)

Internet crimes

The lines separating white collar and Internet crimes are becoming blurred. For example, crimes like extortion, identity theft, pyramid schemes and fraud can be committed with or without a computer.

The most common Internet crime charge is solicitation of a minor for sex. The solicitation itself — not the use of a computer — is the crime, and it is defensible in a variety of ways by experienced attorneys such as Richard W. Springer or Catherine M. Mazzullo.

Other commonly-recognized Internet crimes include:

Internet solicitation of a child for sex
Computer theft
Computer hacking
E-mail interception
Possession or distribution of child pornography

For both white collar and Internet crimes, experts in certain fields may be required to clarify or refute evidence. The Law Offices of Richard W. Springer can call upon accountants to technicians, computer professionals, tax attorneys, chemists and forensics people in your defense on these charges.

Like other white collar crimes, the investigation into these cases can last for a number of months or years until the prosecution as they develop the case against you. Therefore, you should consult an experienced Internet crimes defense lawyer as soon as you suspect you may be under investigation and never speak with any police or other law enforcement personnel prior to speaking with your attorney.

Theft

The crime of theft includes charges of grand larceny (over $300), auto theft, burglary and robbery, all of which can carry serious penalties upon conviction even though no violence may have occurred or been intended. And again, many forms of white collar crime can be considered as theft (embezzlement, fraud, counterfeiting and others).

Talk to an attorney before you do anything else

Regardless of the charges against you, talk to your lawyer first. Do not say anything to the police, the prosecuting attorney, or even to a cellmate. They are not on your side — only your attorney is. Anything said to these individuals can be used against you in court if these individuals are subpoenaed by the prosecution, while information expressed between you and your lawyer is protected by the attorney-client privilege.
