White Collar
The term white collar crime was coined in 1939. The term initially referred to fraud committed by business or government employees. In the 1980s, the definition was updated by the FBI to be much more inclusive. It now refers to a wide range of nonviolent crimes committed for financial gain by corporate employees, executives and the like. Simply being charged with this type of crime can have a severe impact on your reputation, making it all the more important to enlist an experienced white collar crimes attorney to immediately begin defending you.
