Cleveland White Collar Crime Attorneys

The Chandra Law Firm is not a general practice and does not accept every case that comes through the door. Regarding white-collar defence, we use our knowledge as former prosecutors to defend you and guide you through the process. You must pick an attorney who has extensive courtroom experience.

Our firm can address a wide range of white-collar offences, including:

• Conspiracy - Conspiracy charges are brought when two or more people are suspected of plotting a crime. Conspiracy is widespread since it is difficult for one person to achieve big fraud on their own.

• Prescription Medication Fraud - There are numerous fraudulent prescriptions, including utilizing stolen prescription pads to create bogus prescriptions, modifying actual prescriptions, and providing false callback numbers to verify prescriptions.

• Mail or Wire Fraud - This is sometimes done by posing as a reputable firm. The electronic equivalent of mail fraud is wire fraud.

• Tax evasion – it is the deliberate attempt to avoid paying taxes. This can include underpaying taxes or skipping them entirely.

• RICO - RICO is an acronym for "Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations." RICO charges are usually severe. Someone could face RICO charges if they committed crimes over some time and with multiple people while working for an organization.

• Business Theft - Petty theft is defined as the theft of products worth less than $1,000. Those caught stealing more than 1.5 million dollars face a first-degree felony penalty, and numerous theft penalties exist.

• Embezzlement - Embezzlement occurs when trusted employees handle their employer's cash and take a portion of the money as their own.

• Securities Fraud - "stock fraud" or "investment fraud." The foundation of this crime is disseminating false information that influences investors' decisions in the stock or commodities markets.

• Mortgage Fraud - Mortgage fraud occurs when someone misrepresents themselves to obtain loan approval.

The offence level and sentence length you face, if convicted, are primarily determined by how much money the government claims you stole. The investigative agency frequently inflates this figure because they need to know where the money went, why it was transferred, or how it was moved. There are often entirely acceptable justifications; nevertheless, the government rarely checks this upfront. This is why it is critical to retain counsel who understands how to defend your legal rights properly.
