Federal & White Collar Crime Defense
Strategic Defense for Complex, High-Stakes Cases
If you’re facing federal charges or under investigation for a white collar crime, your future is on the line. These cases are often complex, involve years of records, and are prosecuted by highly trained federal attorneys. You need a defense team that’s equally prepared—and fully committed to protecting your rights.
At Forrester Law, we provide strategic, experienced defense in federal criminal cases, with a focus on white collar offenses. We understand the legal, personal, and professional stakes involved, and we work aggressively to protect your reputation, your livelihood, and your freedom.
What Are White Collar Crimes?
“White collar crime” is a broad term for non-violent, financially motivated offenses, often committed in a business, government, or professional setting. These crimes typically involve fraud, deception, or abuse of trust for financial gain—and they often fall under federal jurisdiction.
Examples of white collar crimes include:
- Wire fraud
- Mail fraud
- Bank fraud
- Securities fraud
- Healthcare fraud
- Embezzlement
- Bribery or public corruption
- Money laundering
- Tax evasion
- Identity theft or cybercrime
- Conspiracy or RICO offenses
Convictions can lead to substantial fines, restitution orders, forfeiture of assets, and years in federal prison.
The Federal Court System Is Different
Federal criminal charges are not like state-level offenses. The federal system operates under a different set of procedures, rules of evidence, sentencing guidelines, and investigative agencies.
If you are being investigated—or have been charged—by any of the following agencies, your case likely falls under federal jurisdiction:
- Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)
- Internal Revenue Service (IRS – Criminal Investigation Division)
- S. Postal Inspection Service
- Department of Homeland Security (DHS)
- Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA)
- Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
- S. Attorney’s Office
Federal prosecutors are highly trained and have vast resources at their disposal. You need a defense attorney who understands how to fight back—and who knows how these cases are built, charged, and tried.
How We Defend Federal and White Collar Cases
At Forrester Law, we begin with the facts—gathering records, identifying weaknesses in the government’s case, and developing a defense strategy tailored to your unique circumstances.
We work to:
- Challenge the government’s evidence and investigative methods
- Protect your rights during questioning, searches, and seizures
- Push for early case dismissal or reduction of charges
- Negotiate favorable plea agreements when appropriate
- Defend you vigorously at trial if needed
We also work with forensic accountants, industry experts, and investigators as needed to analyze complex financial documents and uncover evidence in your favor.
Timing Is Critical — Don’t Wait to Get Legal Help
In many federal and white collar cases, the investigation begins long before formal charges are filed. If you’ve been contacted by a federal agency, received a subpoena, or suspect you’re under investigation, don’t wait.
Early intervention can significantly affect the outcome of your case. In some situations, proactive legal representation may help avoid charges altogether.
Discreet. Strategic. Focused.
White collar and federal criminal cases often carry serious reputational consequences—even before a conviction. We understand the need for discretion, the importance of protecting professional licenses, and the value of resolving matters quietly when possible.
At Forrester Law, we bring sound judgment, strategic thinking, and unwavering advocacy to every case. You’ll never be left in the dark about where your case stands or what options are available to you.
