We can protect you in plea negotiations, at trial or at sentencing
The best approach to your case is going to depend on the strength of the evidence against you. The sooner we can get involved in your case, the better the chance we'll have to achieve the reduction or dismissal of serious charges. We'll also look for ways to use the leverage of a strong trial preparation to your advantage in plea negotiations. Our goal is to keep your exposure to punishment to the absolute minimum possible.
If our review of the evidence shows that the high likelihood of conviction makes a trial defense a bad risk, our lawyers will concentrate on the facts and considerations that will make the greatest positive impact at sentencing. Even if you have no practical choice but to accept a plea of guilt on a serious felony fraud charge, you still might have a realistic possibility of avoiding prison based on our work toward softening the consequences.
The trial attorneys of Clark & Williams advise and represent people charged with white collar crimes in either the Georgia or federal criminal justice systems. Characteristic offenses include:
- Identity theft
- Credit card fraud
- Embezzlement or employee theft
- Bank fraud
- False statement to a financial institution
- Mortgage fraud
- Insurance fraud
- Medicare fraud
- State or federal tax crimes ranging from failure to file to fraud or tax evasion
- Money laundering
Our skill and experience with complex financial evidence and forensic accounting testimony can give you an advantage if our investigation shows that you have a strong defense to the charges. Because your exposure to punishment will usually depend on the dollar amount of the alleged losses, our ability to attack the details of the government's case by itself can give you significant protection.
We represent people before charges are formally filed, through pretrial proceedings, at trial and on appeal. To learn more about our ability to protect your interests in white collar crime cases, contact an attorney at Clark & Williams in Brunswick.
