Annapolis and Baltimore White Collar Criminal Attorney
Maryland prosecutors take white collar crimes very seriously. Most white collar crimes are charged as felonies, which means that a conviction could result not only in a prison sentence of more than one year, but a lifetime criminal record as a convicted felon. It is not uncommon to see local prosecutors shift these cases to federal court, where your prison sentence could be much longer.
Examples of white collar crimes include:
- Fraud crimes, such as mortgage fraud, bank fraud and theft by deception
- Embezzlement at work
- Misuse of a corporate credit card
- Identity theft
- Forgery and check kiting
- Bribery and corruption
- Official misconduct
- Breach of fiduciary duties, including theft and misuse of funds
- Medicaid and Medicare fraud
- Public corruption of an elected government official
- Real estate fraud
- RICO charges
- Immigration crimes
- Unemployment fraud
- Internet fraud
- Tax fraud
My name is Jim Crawford. For the past 18 years, I have defended people charged with white collar crimes in both state and federal courts throughout Maryland, including Baltimore, Catonsville, Annapolis and Bel Air.
My goal in a white collar crime case is to look for a defense that can explain or neutralize the state's evidence against you. If the government has a weak case, it may be possible to avoid criminal charges. Even if the government has a strong case against you, early involvement by your lawyer can help minimize the possible consequences.
