In Arizona there’s no specific “white collar” charge.  There are, however, numerous fraud related offenses that would fall under this umbrella.  All, essentially, requires some degree of misrepresentation or deception in order to acquire the property of another without lawful authority (think of it as theft plus a lie).

These are all felony offenses and can carry very serious consequences including prison time depending on the amount of money alleged to be stolen.  Even without prison, these charges carry the potential for fines up to $150,000 plus an 87% surcharge, criminal restitution, and lengthy probation with restrictive and invasive terms.  Being placed on probation with white-collar terms give the Adult Probation Department access to your bank records, pay stubs, and credit card statements.  Someone will be watching and scrutinizing your every financial move closely, looking for any excuse to violate your probation, which could lead to prison time.

Attacking these cases can be incredibly complex, and often require the use of experts.

If you’re charged with, or even being investigated for, any offense alleging fraudulent conduct, you need someone with experience defending and prosecuting these cases.  The lawyers at BC Law Group have the skill and experience to protect you – call them immediately for a free consultation to find out how.
