White Collar Crimes

Your White Collar Crime Attorney

Most white collar crimes are financial crimes performed by business people, without violence, including crimes such as embezzlement, fraud and computer crimes. If you are facing white collar crime charges, you need a lawyer who can defend you.

From my Lafayette, Louisiana, law firm, I can aggressively defend you against white collar and other types of criminal charges. As an attorney, I know that the consequences of conviction can be severe for you and your family, so I fight for you as if your future depends on it, because it probably does.

Types of Cases

There are many types of white collar crimes, and these are just a few that I can handle for you:

  • Fraud
  • Embezzlement
  • Bank fraud
  • Bribery
  • Cell phone fraud
  • Computer and Internet crimes
  • Credit Card fraud
  • Forgery
  • Insurance fraud
  • Welfare fraud
  • Theft

When you work with me, I will first explore the details surrounding your crime and arrest to determine the quality of the prosecutor's case against you and help you determine the plan going forward. If the case is strong, I will seek to negotiate a plea on your behalf to lower the charges and penalties; if not, I will fight for you throughout the entire criminal trial process.

Quality Representation

You deserve quality representation for your embezzlement or fraud defense, so I offer representation marked by:

  • Professionalism: I know how to evaluate your case and determine the best course of action, and I have experience negotiating with the prosecutor's office.
  • Integrity: When you hire me, I make sure you get my very best. I can meet with you evenings or weekends by appointment, whenever you need me, so you won't be left wondering about the status of your embezzlement case.
  • Compassion: I not only offer the best legal representation that I can, but I also work with you, helping you get connected to resources and agencies that will help you break the underlying problems that lead to DWI, drug charges or violent crimes.
