Effective Defense of White-Collar Criminal Charges
If you have been charged with fraud, embezzlement, computer crimes, identity theft or any other type of white-collar crime, it is important to contact a criminal defense attorney as soon as possible. But whom should you call? Not every lawyer has the experience and skill to successfully defend a case involving white-collar crime.
Contact me, Memphis criminal defense attorney Samuel J. Muldavin. I have more than 25 years of legal experience and a long record of success in defending clients charged with white-collar criminal offenses in both state and federal court.
Representing Attorneys Facing Criminal Charges
Many of my clients are other attorneys who have been charged with misappropriation of trust account funds and even fraud and embezzlement of client funds. Attorneys can succumb to the temptation of using trust account funds, which belong to the client, to pay their own expenses. More often than not, many do so fully intending to repay the accounts from future earnings. Sometimes however, the expected settlement falls through or anticipated payment does not come and the lawyer is unable to reimburse the account. Notwithstanding his intent, the lawyer may now be subject to criminal charges and the loss of his or her law license.
White Collar Crime generally involves theft through the violation of trust.
I represent people from all professions, from office workers to police officers to church volunteers, who have been accused of taking money that does not belong to them.
Don't Damage Your Case by Talking With Police
Many people charged with white-collar crimes have no prior criminal record other than a speeding ticket or two. Because they are unfamiliar with the criminal justice system, they can make costly mistakes when dealing with law enforcement.
The Fifth Amendment guarantees the right to silence. If you have been arrested and charged with a white-collar crime, take advantage of that right. Do not try to explain yourself to police without first consulting an attorney. Call me at 901.730.4912 or e-mail my Memphis law office. I protect the rights of clients throughout western Tennessee.
