Understanding White Collar Crimes

White collar crimes are typically non-violent offenses that involve deceit, fraud, or breach of trust, often committed in business or government settings. These cases can be prosecuted in both state and federal court, and the consequences can be devastating. A conviction can lead not only to jail or prison time but also to loss of licensure, employment termination, public humiliation, professional blacklisting, and irreparable damage to one's reputation.

Unlike crimes involving physical violence, white collar charges often stem from lengthy investigations that may involve complex financial transactions, digital evidence, and allegations of intent. For this reason, having a knowledgeable and aggressive criminal defense attorney can make all the difference in preserving your future.

We understand the nuances of these cases and how damaging even an accusation can be. We take a meticulous, strategic, and client-centered approach from day one, guiding our clients through the legal process while protecting their rights at every turn.

We Protect Your Record in White Collar Investigations

We can help you if you have been charged with offenses including:

Embezzlement
Money laundering
Internet scams
Bank fraud
Insurance fraud
Theft
Credit card fraud
Bribery and corruption
Misconduct
Election fraud
Excessive force
Coerced confessions
Misuse of funds or self-dealing
Kickbacks
Conspiracy

Our legal team has seen the devastating consequences that these charges can bring. Many of our clients are first-time offenders who never imagined they’d be facing criminal prosecution. Some people have spent years building careers in finance, education, healthcare, or public service, only to see everything put at risk in an instant. We work to stop that downward spiral, investigating every allegation thoroughly and preparing an aggressive, well-reasoned defense that aims to restore our clients’ reputations and protect their future.

A Strategic and Thorough Defense Process

When we take on a case, we conduct rigorous background research and we will not advise you about the best options, defenses or direction until we know everything about it and have completely analyzed every facet.

Our process involves:

Reviewing all relevant documents and communications
Analyzing financial records and transaction histories
Interviewing witnesses and collecting favorable testimony
Consulting with forensic accountants or digital data experts
Evaluating search and seizure procedures for constitutional violations
Preparing for trial from day one—even if a resolution is likely

Our goal is always to pursue a complete dismissal of all the charges, but if this isn’t possible, we will diligently work toward putting you in a position of strength to negotiate a satisfactory plea agreement, a favorable trial outcome, or to otherwise minimize the penalties you will face.

Even in situations where clients may have made errors in judgment, we work to contextualize those actions, humanize our clients before the court, and seek alternatives to incarceration, such as restitution agreements, diversion programs, or probation.

“Saved my life

Thank you for everything you did and your professionalism in handling my case. You probably saved my life. My wife and son are incredibly grateful and I would highly recommend you to anyone. Thank you again. S.K., recent client.”

“Professional and effective

We worked with Dan Geherin to resolve a potentially (very) serious legal issue with my teenage son. Dan provided a first consultation and explained his costs up front and outlined his proposed strategy. There were no surprises in the process... Dan provided reassurance and clear, step by step recommendations that we followed and he implemented his strategy with great results. He always communicated directly with each of us and approached the case with a collaborative effort. We ended up getting the best results possible given the situation, and everything went as Dan predicted. Full disclosure... the fee for his work was a little bit higher than some other lawyers might charge, but he was very up front about this and delivered great results, so I would definitely work with him again even though I sure hope I don't need to!”
