Spokane Fraud Charges Defense Lawyer
Offering Skilled Advocacy in Federal Fraud Defense
The FBI describes fraud as "deliberate deception for unlawful gain." In the early part of the 20th century, leading criminologist Edwin Sutherland coined the phrase "white collar crimes" to describe a wide spectrum of fraud committed by government leaders and business professionals.
Many people accused of fraud and white collar crimes may not have been aware that they committed crimes and were under federal or state investigation for months. Today's use of the internet for commerce, communication, and transferring information makes fraud charges more nebulous than ever.
