White collar criminal defense is a primary area of emphasis of our firm. These cases are unique in a number of respects. One distinguishing feature of white collar offenses is that they are often prosecuted in federal court.
The federal criminal justice system has a complex set of sentencing guidelines and rules of evidence that are distinct from those in the state system. Anyone who has been arrested for business fraud, embezzlement or other white collar crime in federal court should have an experienced criminal defense lawyer who is familiar with federal criminal practice.
The founder of our firm, Georges G. Lederman, devotes a significant percentage of his criminal defense practice to federal white collar crimes, including:
- Fraud
- Embezzlement
- Tax fraud and evasion
- Bank structuring transactions
- Conspiracy and schemes to defraud
- Other complex federal crimes
Although most white collar crimes are prosecuted in federal court, our firm also handles similar charges that are brought in state court. Mr. Lederman is a former Assistant District Attorney for the New York County District Attorney's Office. While serving at the District Attorney's Office for nearly a decade, Mr. Lederman worked in the Frauds and Trial Divisions, handling complex criminal cases.
Litigation Resulting from Fraud and Embezzlement
If you have been arrested for business fraud of any kind, you face the possibility of a civil lawsuit in addition to criminal sanctions. As an experienced criminal and civil law practitioner, Mr. Lederman has the breadth of practice and legal sophistication necessary to provide comprehensive representation throughout the duration of your case.
