WHITE COLLAR CRIMES ATTORNEY
IN SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA

White collar crime is a term used to describe a series of crimes that are economic crimes – crimes that involve money or property as opposed to violent crimes that involve force like murder, assault or robbery. White collar crimes tend to involve people of higher social status, respectability, and level of trust. Trickery is often involved in White Collar Crimes.

Examples of White Collar Crime:

• Bribery – giving money to a person in power in exchange for favorable treatment.
• Larceny – taking property and not paying for it. Extortion – also known as blackmail.
• Fraud – taking money through trickery. Examples include Identity Theft where the perpetrator poses as someone else, consumer fraud where the perpetrator falsely advertises something, and Credit Card Fraud where the perpetrator uses false credit cards to buy something.
• Computer Fraud – using a computer to trick someone out of property.
• Obstruction of Justice – impeding a criminal investigation.
• Perjury – lying under oath.
• Forgery – signing someone else’s name to a document.
