White collar crimes are nonviolent crimes that usually involve financial losses and fraud. The term “white collar” refers to the white collars of button-down business shirts because these types of crimes are often perpetrated in a commercial or business context. White collar crimes are sometimes high-profile cases involving known business and political figures deceiving or concealing information for monetary gain. 

Although they are not violent offenses, white collar crimes can carry serious consequences, including significant financial penalties and jail time, whether the crimes stem from federal or Wisconsin law. At the same time, defendants in white collar cases also sometimes find themselves faced with civil lawsuits seeking monetary compensation for the same alleged wrongdoing. 

The experienced attorneys at GRGB Law understand white collar crimes and their penalties and defenses. We often present before other attorneys on white collar crime issues, including a recent presentation by Attorney Raymond Dall’Osto on the presidential immunity defense to white collar crimes.
