Suffolk County White Collar Crimes

Lawyers Who Know How to Confront White Collar Criminal Charges

White collar crimes are those committed by an organization or individual in a business in order to see a financial gain. These crimes are non-violent. However, due to recent scandals in the financial and business world, lawmakers in New York and nationwide have enacted new laws and dedicated more resources to prosecuting white-collar crimes.

What this means is that the days of getting a mere “slap on the wrist” or doing “easy time” for white collar crimes are a thing of the past.

White-collar crime defendants are often executives, business owners, professionals or employees who are facing the criminal justice system for the first time in their lives. Usually, they are in the position to access company funds and the allegations involve thousands of dollars, sometimes hundreds of thousands.

Early Intervention Can Make a Big Difference

If you have been arrested, indicted by a grand jury, or suspect you are under investigation, you should contact the Law Offices of Obedin and Weissman immediately. We will engage in pre-filing interaction with prosecutors to get charges dismissed in unfounded cases, or to impact charging decisions so that our clients face less severe felonies or even misdemeanors.

We handle the full range of white collar offenses, including:

  • Embezzlement
  • Misappropriation of client funds
  • Corporate malfeasance
  • Grand theft
  • Investment scams
  • Consumer fraud
  • Insurance fraud
  • Mortgage fraud and bank fraud
  • Identity theft and computer crimes

The white collar criminal defense lawyers at Obedin and Weissman have over 50 years of combined experience. We understand the tactics and strategies used by the Suffolk County District Attorney’s office in prosecuting white collar crimes.

  • etc.

We have the ability to sort through the massive paper trail and find the elements of a viable defense.
