White Collar Crimes in Kent

Professionals and business people are sometimes charged with white collar crimes even though they didn't realize they were breaking the law. When you consider that a conviction for a white collar crime could land you in jail and cause permanent damage to your reputation, it makes sense to have a qualified attorney protecting your legal interests.

There are a number of crimes that qualify as "white collar," some of which include mail fraud, insurance fraud, tax fraud, internet fraud, and wire fraud. The Kent white collar criminal lawyers at the Law Office of Jason S. Newcombe understand how a conviction can derail your life in countless ways. You work hard to earn the trust and respect of your peers, so protect your reputation with help from a team of experienced Washington lawyers who will treat your case with the utmost discretion.

Other common white collar crimes committed in Kent include extortion, racketeering, regulatory violations, forgery, bribery, and securities fraud. If you purchase a home from someone losing it to foreclosure and then rent it back to them, you could be charged with crime. You may believe that you're conducting business in a legal way, but the government calls this practice equity-skimming. Whether or not you're aware of this law is irrelevant, because a conviction will incur punishments that are swift and severe.

If formal charges are filed against you by a grand jury, your lawyer will pursue any legal means to resolve your case favorably. We will seek to answer the following questions to aid in our effort to build a defense:

• Did you actually commit the crime or was it someone else?
• Did the police accuse you of something you didn't do?
• Were your actions actually legal?
• Did you commit a crime to the level at which you're accused?

With more than 30 years of collective experience dealing with these complicated cases, we understand the value of professional representation. We may seek a diversion program if you have no prior criminal convictions, and if this program is successful you won't incur a criminal record.
