Find here the most common questions we recive about White Collar Criminal cases in Austin, Texas.
No. While white collar crimes may be non-violent in nature, they are not victimless and still carry stout punishments. The judicial system sees economical and financial impact of White Collar Crime similar to that of violent offenses. White Collar crime such as fraud, money laundering, and embezzlement can land perpetrators in prison for decades.
First, be respectful and non-combative. Often, if agents show up, they are still investigating a case and looking for information. Know your rights regarding your home and ability to remain silent. During an routine interview, you do not have to allow them into your home without a warrant and you do not have to speak to them. If you are unsure of how to respond, let them know you would like to contact a lawyer before answering any questions.
White Collar Crimes can be felony offenses. White Collar crimes range from Misdemeanor to Felony offenses depending on the type of crime, monetary amount involved, victim vulnerability, and the defendant’s criminal history. Misdemeanors carry a punishment of up to a year in prison while felonies can land you in prison for decades.
Having an attorney for white collar matters is crucial to help you navigate the system and protect your interests. A criminal defense attorney will advocate on your behalf, negotiate the best possible outcome, and protect you from any further investigations or questioning. Having a defense attorney creates a knowledgeable buffer between you and the state and ensures that someone is fighting for you.
It depends on the charge you are facing and the evidence the state has. In cases where the evidence weighs heavily in favor of the state, a plea agreement is an option that allows your defense attorney to negotiate favorable terms rather than leaving it in the hands of a judge or jury. Trial is often a last resort, but a necessary step if a plea agreement is not reached. Trial gives each side to lay everything on the table and places the burden on the State to show that the crime was committed beyond a reasonable doubt.
Hire an attorney. Attorneys will act as a go between for the whole investigation. Agents will not be allowed to speak to you directly as long as you are represented by an attorney. In addition to acting as a buffer and point of contact, Criminal Defense Attorneys will keep you informed, build a defense, and potentially keep the investigation from becoming federal charges.
There are two types of Grand Jury Subpoenas. One requires you to produce documents and the other requires you to testify at a Grand Jury proceeding. If you are served with either subpoena, contacting a criminal defense attorney is a good place to start. They will be able to advise you on how to comply with the subpoena and if you need legal representation to protect your interests.
