White Collar Crimes - Criminal Defense Lawyers Denver, CO - Newell and Decker

Perhaps more than any other areas of criminal law in the past five years, white collar crimes have become politically fashionable for state and federal prosecutors to pursue. Because of the severe economic downturn in our economy, many more business-related, or “white collar” crimes, have been filed. They are often charged as thefts, frauds or criminal conspiracies. Frequently these are paper-intensive cases which may involve many transactions, multiple defendants and complex laws such as the Colorado Organized Crime Acts (COCA) or the Federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO).

While some of these cases are truly thefts, frauds or criminal conspiracies, many others are no more than failed business efforts, after-the-fact blaming of legitimate business risks, or cases which are more properly civil matters but which have been pursued for political reasons by a government prosecutor. From mortgage fraud, to investment fraud, to business racketeering cases, there has been a spike in white collar prosecutions in this economic environment. Because this is true, you will need an experienced defense attorney who knows how to handle complex business cases and has proven so in the past.
