Lakewood White Collar Crime Lawyer

White Collar Crime Attorney in Lakewood, CO

White collar crime is a commonly misunderstood term. It can refer to a multitude of nonviolent offenses involving financial matters, some of which are prosecuted as serious felonies. If you are convicted of a white collar crime, the consequences can range from probation and fines to the loss of a job — or hard time in jail or prison. The seriousness of these consequences calls for strong legal representation.
