Skilled Metro Detroit Defense Attorney For White Collar And Financial Crime Charges
Last updated on May 7, 2026
White collar convictions can destroy professional careers and personal relationships. Although these crimes are nonviolent, Michigan treats them seriously and classifies them as felonies.
Prosecutors often use financial records and digital data to build their cases. If convicted, individuals may face jail time, restitution payments for all losses and suspension or revocation of their professional licenses.

Frequently Asked Questions About White Collar Crime Charges
Here are answers to five common questions I get from my clients facing white collar crime charges.
What are examples of white collar crimes?
These financially motivated offenses include embezzlement, bribery, forgery, fraud, wage theft, cybercrime, money laundering, tax evasion, insider trading and identity theft.
Can a financial crime charge be dismissed?

How long do investigations last?
The timeline for financial crime investigations can vary widely, typically ranging from a few months to several years. Hiring legal counsel as early as possible is crucial for a strong defense strategy.
Will a conviction affect my professional license or career?
Yes, fraud or embezzlement convictions in Michigan can lead to license suspension, termination or permanent record damage.
Why should I hire a criminal defense lawyer early?
Early intervention can protect your rights. It also allows your lawyer to conduct their own investigation, collect evidence and gather witness statements that may challenge the prosecution’s narrative.
