White Collar Crimes Wisconsin Laws Awhite collar crime is a category of crimes grouped together because of their similarities, the main commonality being that they are all non-violent crimes. There is no statute called "white collar crimes", and for all intents, there is no actual definition for the term. Consequently, certain crimes may be grouped together in one state, but not another. In Wisconsin, there is a general acceptance in the legal profession of what constitutes a white collar crime - they are those crimes which transfer property or title without violence. Even so, extortion is often included as a white collar crime even though it usually involves threat of force or violence to compel a person to do something that he or she would not otherwise do. Common White Collar Charges In Wisconsin, a person can be charged for a state (Wisconsin) crime or a U. S. Federal crime. The majority of white collar criminal charges brought by the state of Wisconsin are listed below. Computer Crimes Embezzlement Fraud Health Care Fraud Insider Trading, Securities Fraud and Stock Fraud Insurance Fraud Mail Fraud Tax Evasion Wire Fraud Other White Collar Criminal Charges Although the listed white collar crimes above are more commonly charged in Wisconsin, any of the criminal actions in the table below can (are are) also charged.

White Collar Crimes -v- Theft Once considered the crime of corporate executives, white collar criminal charges are brought against many different classes of people today, including executives, managers, tellers, blue-collar workers, publicly held corporations, and small privately held companies. White collar crime involves the theft or attempted theft of property from another without permission or authority, which closely parallels the definition of theft: the taking and carrying away of the property of another without permission or authority with intent to permanently deprive the rightful owner of that property, its use or its enjoyment. The differentiating factor that often separates white collar crime from theft is the possession of the property. For most white collar crimes, the property is in the custody or permissible possession of the one who steals it; conversely, a theft usually involves property that has not been entrusted to another constructively or otherwise. White collar crime is a serious crime Although white collar crimes are nonviolent, they are nonetheless a crime. Both Wisconsin law and federal law provide severe penalties for white collar crimes including and not limited to fines, jail or prison time, and probation. Rights of Those Accused of White Collar Crimes People charged with white collar crimes have the same rights as people charged with any other crime including the right to remain silent, the right to representation, and the right to a speedy trial. If you are under investigation for a white collar crime, it is wise to seek immediate legal counsel. The sooner you involve your attorney and obtain expert legal advice, the better your chances of a more favorable outcome. Often times, a criminal defense attorney can head off otherwise disastrous outcomes, especially when false allegations or accusations of some type of embezzlement or fraud are made and can potentially defame you and cause severe loss of revenues. Complexities of White Collar Crimes White collar crimes tend to be complex crimes, sometimes involving very sophisticated computer systems and complicated conspiracy schemes. Some white collar crimes are entirely planned and carried out by a single person, such as a bank teller. The more sophisticated the systems, the more challenging the defense strategy, so it is wise to consult with an attorney who has had years of experience trying very complex cases.

Once enlisted, the attorneys will take steps to prevent criminal charges from being filed whenever possible. The winning record of those attorneys has often persuaded prosecutors to forego charging their clients, even in the face of strong evidence that the crime was committed. If charges have already been filed, you can be reassured that the criminal defense attorneys will bring their more than thirty years of combined criminal defense and criminal trial skills to your defense, seeking the best possible outcome.
