White Collar Criminal

With state and federal prosecutors focusing particular attention to the investigation and prosecution of business and their executives, the need for experienced representation has become essential. The White Collar Criminal Practice at Wildman Harrold has represented corporate and individual clients in a wide-range of federal and state investigations and prosecutions. Clients range from Fortune 100 companies and their executives to small businesses and their owners whose activities have come under scrutiny. Our goal is to resolve criminal investigations quietly, without return of an indictment and without public knowledge of the criminal nature of the inquiry: some of our best work is done when no one knows we have been engaged and no one knows there was a problem.

In most instances, these are business problems that are appropriate for business resolutions, and our task is to defend against the investigating agency until it is prepared to discuss a rational civil resolution to the problem. When necessary, however, we are prepared to try cases to verdict and to assist our clients in all post-judgment proceedings. Our attorneys have successfully represented clients in a variety of white collar criminal matters, including bank fraud, mail and wire fraud, customs violations, and environmental crimes. We have represented clients in state and federal grand juries and have tried criminal cases in state and federal courts.
