Handling White Collar Criminal Defense Matters

When most people think of white collar crime they think of Enron and other larger corporate scandals. However, almost any non-violent crime committed for financial gain can fall under the heading of white collar crime. At the Law Office of Jerrold M. Bodow, in San Diego, California, we are committed to defending individuals charged with white collar criminal offenses.

It is not uncommon for people to know they are under investigation for a white collar crime before charges are even filed. The best time to seek legal counsel is before you are arrested, because in some cases, it may be possible to prevent charges from ever being filed. While in other cases, it may be possible to work out a deal to prevent prosecution. In all cases it is unwise to speak with the police or private investigators without having your attorney there. Indeed most criminal attorneys will advise you NOT TO talk with the police. As a former prosecutor, it is Mr. Bodow’s experience that a large percentage of criminal cases would never be filed if the suspect would have simply said, “I want to talk with an attorney before I speak to you.”

We have 29 years of experience handling criminal defense matters. In that time there has been a shift in the types of crimes considered to be "white collar." The term, coined in 1939, originally referred to crimes committed by people in the course of their occupation. Today, the term white collar crimes has broadened to include:

• Embezzlement
• Banking fraud
• Mail fraud
• Credit card fraud
• Computer fraud
• Internet fraud and E-bay fraud
• Medicaid and Medicare fraud
• Insurance fraud
• Identity fraud

We represent clients at every stage of a white collar criminal prosecution. When we cannot get charges dropped, we work aggressively to obtain an acquittal or minimize the consequences of a guilty plea or conviction.
