White Collar Criminal Defense

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

One of the earmarks of the steady expansion of government at the New Jersey state level and the federal level is that more and more laws and regulations make it easier to find yourself in violation of them. It is similar to walking through a minefield: the more mines that are laid in your path, the more likely it is that you will finally step on one of them.

White Collar Crimes: an Overview

Some crimes by their very names can conjure images of the type of person who commits them. Crimes such as assault, strong-arm robbery, or burglary may bring to mind a rough sort of individual. Another type of crime, though, may produce a different kind of mental image: "white-collar crime."

Different Levels of Government Prosecute Fraud

With the economic recession that began in 2008 came an attitude in New Jersey and throughout the country that was very hostile towards executives in large companies and people working within the financial industry.
