White collar crimes: The penalty can be severe

On Behalf of | Jun 13, 2018 | Uncategorized

In regards to the penalty, a white collar crime can be every bit as serious as one that entails physical violence or drugs.

A white collar crime charge can take a toll on your life, as this typically begins with many months or years of investigation.

There are many types of white collar crime, including but not limited to the following:

  • Identity theft
  • Forgery
  • Embezzlement
  • Fraud

All of these crimes have the potential to result in a severe punishment, which is why you need to understand your legal rights and how to protect yourself throughout the process.

Some of the most common punishments associated with a white collar crime conviction include:

  • Jail time
  • Hefty fines
  • Restitution
  • Community service
  • Home detention

In many cases, a conviction can lead to more than one type of penalty. For example, a jail term combined with a fine and restitution.
