You cannot afford to let authorities push you around if you face charges for fraud or some other white-collar crime. A conviction can mean going to prison or paying other stiff penalties. We have experience with federal and state investigations relating to accounting fraud, compliance, insider trading, public corruption, mail fraud, and wire fraud.

White-collar crime cases involve examining a lot of evidence. These crimes often take years to file through. The trials are a lengthy process, especially when the defendant faces both state and federal charges. Sometimes investigations last a long time before charges. Getting a capable white-collar criminal defense attorney is essential in this process. We understand that even the air of criminal misdealing can end a career. So our Waco criminal defense attorneys will work behind the scenes with prosecutors to prevent prosecutions wherever possible. In some cases, it is feasible to dodge charges entirely.
