White Collar Crime
It probably doesn’t come as a surprise to anyone that, according to a number of statistical studies in the United States and elsewhere, white-collar crimes are on the rise. This is due to a number of factors, most of them tied in one way or another to the expansion of technology. Because so much data is available on the internet, the range of crimes that can be committed online is increasing exponentially.
If you have been arrested for a white-collar crime, you already know that you are in legal jeopardy, at risk of heavy fines and lengthy imprisonment. If you live and work in Arizona, Blischak Law Firm, an accomplished team of criminal defense attorneys based in Phoenix, is prepared to defend you with strength, acuity, and compassion. We are aware of the intricacies and scope of white-collar crime and have a well-earned reputation for successful courtroom defense.
White Collar Crime Defined
White-collar crime is a crime committed in order to make financial gain through deceit. It is not a violent form of crime, though in certain cases, force and coercion may be used to perpetuate it or conceal it. White-collar crime seriously affects tremendous numbers of people annually, depriving them of their hard-earned wages, savings, and investments, and depleting businesses, corporations, government agencies, and public and private schools. At Blischak Law Firm, we are well aware of how easy it is to get sucked into white-collar crime, at times because someone you work with has already paved the way, and at other times because you take a small misstep that goes unnoticed, enticing you to commit a bigger indiscretion. Whatever the reason you have been arrested, we always assume that you are innocent until proven guilty and work diligently to defend your rights and your freedom.
Types Of White Collar Crime And Fraud
There are a great many varieties of white-collar crime, including:
Bribery
Counterfeiting
Credit card fraud
Embezzlement

Possible Defenses Against White Collar Crimes

Duress, meaning the illegal act was committed under threat of serious harm or damage
Ignorance of the illegality of an act that was done at the behest of a superior
Impaired judgment by reason of intoxication, medication, or mental incapacity
Entrapment by authorities
Entrapment is the most common defense used in cases of white-collar crime.
