Cleveland Fraud Lawyer
Northeast Ohio White Collar Crime Attorney
An effective defense against an allegation of white collar crime, particularly a federal charge, requires a rare level of experience and skill. In over 30 years as a criminal lawyer, I have represented clients in large and complex federal cases and in those charged in Ohio state courts.
Protect your rights. Talk to an attorney before making any statement
If you believe you are under investigation, you have been charged with a crime or you are under arrest, it is extremely important that you exercise your constitutional right to remain silent. Do not make any statement unless you have an attorney present. If you would like to speak with me, please contact my office to arrange a consultation.
White collar crime defense
As a solo attorney, I have the opportunity to develop a close relationship with every client in my criminal law practice. It is important for me to understand every aspect of a case. A credit card theft charge might stem from an action as simple as thoughtlessly using a company credit card for personal business. A bookkeeper or bank teller charged with theft might have made a simple error.
I may have an expert perform an independent psychological evaluation to evaluate my client's action. If my client's action was the result of stress, depression, a gambling addiction or a poor adjustment to a new medication, I may be able to negotiate treatment and restitution in lieu of prison.
I am prepared to handle a wide range of cases in Ohio and federal courts, including those involving the following:
- Mortgage broker fraud
- Forgery
- Inflated appraisal
- Predatory lending
- RICO
- Public corruption
- Racketeering
- Skimming money from company books
- Paying false invoices
- Embezzlement
- False invoice payment
- Credit card fraud
- Money laundering
- Identity theft
- Internet fraud
- Extortion
- Insider trading
- Counterfeiting
- Forgery
