White Collar Criminal Defense Archives

Stahl Gasiorowski Criminal Defense Lawyers defend those facing a government investigation, arrest or indictment.

White-collar crimes can be investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), and state authorities. Investigations may involve other law enforcement and regulatory agencies as well, including:

the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)
the U.S. Postal Inspection Service
the Commodity Futures Trading Commission
the Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network
Homeland Security

Federal white collar crime cases are tried at one of the 94 district level trial courts in the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). Federal DOJ trials involve healthcare fraud, market integrity and major fraud, and foreign corrupt practices.
