Aggressive White Collar Defense in Ohio
White collar crimes are financial crimes that have a direct effect on the economic stability of an individual, a business, or the government. Most white collar crimes are committed by individuals who have been placed in a position of trust, authority or who have some level of access to the finances of another, such as a banker, lawyer, or trustee. When that person abuses their position for their own financial benefit at the expense of the victim, it is a white collar crime.
