Corporate criminal defense is typically committed in a business or financial setting, and is often an economic or property crime. These non-violent crimes include allegations of embezzlement, identity theft, fraud and securities violations, and can be prosecuted in either the state or federal criminal justice system. If prosecuted as a federal offense, federal law enforcement agencies, such as the FBI, will be involved in the investigation and federal prosecutors will prosecute the case in the United States District Court.  Beals Hubbard offers a free, confidential case evaluation to clients who are under investigation or have been charged with a white collar crime. The firm defends cases which include federal crimes, computer crimes, embezzlement, extortion, forgery, conspiracy and a host of fraud-related crimes.  The penalties for white collar crimes are extensive and varied, and depending upon the particular offense may include: prison sentences, heavy fines, restitution to the victim/s, probation, community service, and more.  Beals Hubbard is committed to providing its clients with confidential, discrete and aggressive legal representation throughout the criminal process.  Please contact Anthony R.
