Knoxville, Tennessee White Collar Crime Attorney

Attorney for Computer Crimes and Fraud in Knoxville, TN

Offenses that may be committed by people in professional settings are generally known as white collar crimes. These crimes usually involve financial issues, and they are typically non-violent. It is not uncommon for these charges to arise when people take certain actions while they are under pressure to compete in business or succeed in politics. Over the past few decades, federal authorities have greatly intensified their prosecution of fraud, public corruption, and corporate and financial crimes. Determining how to defend against these charges is not always easy, and it is important to have legal representation from a criminal defense attorney who understands the legal and financial issues that may be involved in these cases.

A conviction may result in significant punishments that could alter your life permanently.
