Criminal Defense Lawyer Serving Orange County and Riverside County
If you are accused of a financial or white collar crime, the charges can add up quickly. In today's political environment, many California prosecutors are looking for ways to increase the punishments for those accused of financial crimes such as mortgage fraud, embezzlement, and insider trading.
In fact, both state and federal law provide sentencing enhancements that increase the penalties for certain types of fraud and financial offenses. What that means for you is that what may seem like a relatively minor accusation can quickly turn into a nightmare — destroying your professional reputation and taking away your freedom.
