  • Embezzlement:  The theft of someone’s property by a person who was entrusted with it.
  • Fraud:  An intentional perversion of the truth with the intent of convincing a person to give up something of value.
  • Bribery:  The offering, giving, receiving, or soliciting of something of value in order to influence the action of another person.
  • Forgery:  Creating or altering a document for the purpose of fraud or deceit.
  • Extortion:  Threatening or using violence or other criminal means to cause harm to a person, their reputation or their property in order to obtain property from someone else without their consent.
  • Larceny:  Illegally taking someone’s personal property in order to deprive them of their possessions. 
  • Money Laundering:  Disguising the original source/destination of illegally obtained funds in order to prevent the detection of illegal activity.

White collar crimes usually violate Federal laws, which will mean that they will be charged as Federal offenses.  In this case, your Seattle criminal defense lawyer will have to be well versed in Federal laws and court procedures.  White collar crimes are very complex in nature and your defense attorney can help effectively lead you through the process and can make sure you do not face the harsh and long-lasting penalties that can come from a conviction.
