Financial Crimes | Florida White Collar Crime Defense

White collar crimes can encompass a variety of charges, but the crimes tend to focus on financial gain. Due to the seriousness of these crimes and how they affect others, the penalties can be harsh and ongoing. Aggressive defense of white collar crime allegations or charges is essential to protect your future from lingering restitution and damage to your reputation.

At Hathaway Sprague Law, P.A., our team of attorneys is focused on experienced criminal defense for residents of Tallahassee and surrounding areas of the Florida Panhandle. We understand that a low point in life can lead to the pressure for financial gain — which can lead to criminal activity that feels unavoidable. We do not bring judgment to our cases and are here to defend your case with an approachable and honest manner.

Our attorneys have the experience to help defend charges of:

  • Fraud
  • Embezzlement
  • Money laundering
  • Scams or Ponzi schemes

Defining Fraud And Embezzlement

Fraud can encompass many types of crimes that involve deceiving others for money. These charges can range from securities fraud, trading stocks or insider trading to simply making false or misleading statements. Fraud charges can also involve mortgage or insurance fraud schemes. All fraud charges should be taken seriously because they can violate both state and federal laws.

Embezzlement involves taking money from someone that you owe something to, such as work hours. Employees can find themselves facing charges for taking money from their employers and hiding it in a personal account.
