How Will a San Antonio White Collar Crime Attorney Help Your Case?
A San Antonio white collar crime defense attorney should have one strategy in mind – holding the Texas government or federal government to the highest burden of proof required for these cases. Just because you have been accused of a crime does not mean that you will ultimately be found guilty. A skilled San Antonio white collar crimes lawyer can use their resources and legal expertise to:
- Conduct a thorough evaluation and investigation into the criminal allegation(s) against you. Does the government have a strong or weak case? Are there any witnesses that the prosecutors are calling on? Was the evidence gathered legally? All these are questions an attorney will work to answer.
- A white collar crime attorney will use expert analysis in your case. If necessary, this could involve getting the best investigators and experts to look into your case. This includes forensic accountants, former special agents, and more.
- Your attorney will also remain in constant communication with prosecutors and will be aware of any possible plea deals in your case if a deal is warranted given the facts of your situation. There are times when a strategic negotiation could result in a more favorable outcome for your case.
Defending You or Your Business Against State and Federal Criminal Charges
In Texas, many white collar crimes are lumped under “theft” crimes. Whether you have been accused of or are being investigated for engaging in deceptive trade practices or the misappropriation of fiduciary funds, we have the resources and experience to fight these complex criminal charges. At the federal level, white collar defense lawyers typically deal with conspiracy, racketeering, or fraud charges.
There are numerous types of white collar or theft crimes we handle at Hoelscher Gebbia Cepeda PLLC, including:
- Embezzlement
- Extortion
- Forgery
- Fraud — mortgage, tax, securities, health care, and elder fraud
- Organized crime
- Bribery
- Money laundering
- Financial crimes
- Tax evasion
Most federal white collar crimes are serious felonies that can result in prison sentences. In many instances, the government will carry out a prolonged investigation to build a case. If you or your business is under federal investigation, it’s essential to secure representation as early as possible.
A Federal Target Letter
If you have received a target letter from an Assistant United States Attorney regarding any white-collar crime, then you need to take this to mean that you are under investigation. If you receive a federal target letter, you need to speak to a skilled criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible. While a Federal target letter could mean a number of things, it is vital that you let a San Antonio white collar crimes lawyer look over the notification and handle any communication with other parties involved.
Often, targets of white-collar investigations are not arrested right away. Even if you have an inkling that something is amiss, it is a good idea to speak to a lawyer. An attorney may be able to step in on your behalf to find out what is going on and gauge the amount of trouble you may be in. Early mitigation could make a huge difference in your white collar crime case.
