Salt Lake City White Collar Crime Defense Lawyers
If you are under investigation for committing a white collar crime, act quickly to secure your rights with an experienced criminal defense attorney. Unlike street crimes, law enforcement officials are known to devote substantial time and resources investigating allegations of white collar crimes. State and federal authorities will likely wait to file charges until they have a strong case against you.
At Richards Brandt Miller Nelson, our defense attorneys offer more than 20 years of combined experience handling more than 5,000 criminal cases. We have the skills and tenacity to defend your rights, especially when the stakes against you are so high. We will conduct a thorough investigation to reveal any weaknesses or false statements in the evidence obtained against you. Our detailed approach is critical in helping us seek a resolution before criminal charges are even filed. Contact our law firm today to schedule a consultation at our law firm in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Offering an Aggressive Criminal Defense Strategy
Our firm's criminal defense attorneys strive to address and conclude government investigations as efficiently and effectively as possible. When appropriate, we consult forensic accountants and other experts to help us trace financial records and paper trails in question by federal or state authorities. Our ability to explain the legitimacy behind your business transactions and the nature of your work can be invaluable in working with law enforcement to stop their investigation, even before criminal charges are filed.
However, when the need arises, our defense attorneys have the experience and skills necessary to aggressively defend your rights in trial when accused of committing serious financial crimes, including:
- Larceny
- Embezzlement
- Money laundering
- Wire and mail fraud
- Criminal fraud
- Racketeering and RICO violations
We are also prepared to develop an effective defense strategy if you are considering appealing a white collar criminal conviction.
Seeking to Mitigate Potential Penalties
If a conviction is unavoidable for federal white collar crimes, the sentencing judge is obligated to implement federal sentencing guidelines. The punishment is determined by the defendant's criminal history and the severity level of the crime committed.
At Richards Brandt Miller Nelson, we have a clear understanding of the federal sentencing guidelines. Our defense attorneys are committed to helping you avoid the harsh penalties associated with the federal sentencing guidelines. We are experienced negotiators prepared to illustrate why the criminal activity should be considered at the state, not federal, level. Our law firm will identify all possible factors to reduce your sentence.
