White Collar Crime Cases We Handle

White-collar crime refers to non-violent, financially motivated crimes committed by individuals, businesses, or government officials, usually in professional or corporate settings. These crimes often involve deceit, fraud, or a violation of trust to gain financial benefits. The term "white-collar" distinguishes these offenses from "blue-collar" crimes, which are more likely to involve physical violence or direct harm.

At Conageski Law, we understand the severity of white-collar crimes and the effects they can have on your future. Attorney Conageski will work with you to examine every detail of your case to build the strongest defense possible. At Conageski Law, we have successfully represented our clients in a variety of scenarios.

These cases include (but are not limited to):

  • Mail Fraud – Using the postal service to carry out schemes that defraud individuals or businesses, such as sending fake invoices or fraudulent lottery winnings.
  • Wire Fraud – Similar to mail fraud but involves electronic communications (phone calls, emails, texts) to deceive victims and steal money.
  • Accounting Fraud – Manipulating financial statements to misrepresent a company’s financial health, often to mislead investors or evade taxes (e.g., Enron scandal).
  • Securities and Investment Fraud – Deceptive practices in stock markets or investments, including Ponzi schemes, insider trading, and pump-and-dump schemes.
  • Money Laundering – Concealing the origins of illegally obtained money, typically by passing it through complex transactions to make it appear legitimate.
  • Embezzlement – When someone in a trusted position, such as an employee or company executive, secretly takes money or assets for personal use.
  • Forgery – Creating or altering documents, checks, or signatures with the intent to defraud, such as falsifying contracts or fake prescriptions.
  • Writing Bad Checks – Intentionally writing checks from accounts that do not have sufficient funds, also known as check fraud.
  • Bank Fraud – Fraudulent activities involving financial institutions, such as falsifying loan applications or using stolen identities to open accounts.
  • Mortgage Fraud – Lying or omitting crucial information on mortgage applications to get a loan approval or better loan terms.
  • Healthcare Fraud – Fraud committed in the medical industry, such as billing for unnecessary procedures, fake insurance claims, or overcharging patients.
  • Identity Theft – Stealing someone’s personal information (like Social Security numbers or credit card details) to commit fraud or theft.
  • Counterfeiting – Producing fake goods, currency, or documents to pass them off as real, often leading to financial loss for businesses and consumers.
  • Insider Trading – Illegally using confidential or non-public information to buy or sell stocks for financial gain.
  • Cyber Crimes – White-collar crimes committed online, such as hacking, phishing scams, ransomware attacks, and credit card fraud.

What are the Penalties For White Collar Crimes in Florida?

Penalties will be based on the scope and nature of the crime and any prior criminal history. You may be facing years in prison, heavy fines, probation, restitution to victims, and community service. With this type of conviction on your record, you will likely have difficulty finding employment and may be prohibited from obtaining a professional license. You may have worked years to gain your current position at work and in society only to face losing it.
