Defending You Against Criminal Charges in Murfreesboro and Middle Tennessee
If you learn that you are under investigation for a white-collar crime, the biggest mistake that you can make is to talk to police, your spouse, your employer or anyone else about the charges. Those words may come back to haunt you.
Anyone who faces white-collar criminal charges should immediately seek the assistance of an experienced defense lawyer. At the Law Offices of Howard, Kendrick & Reynolds in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, we know that a prompt and aggressive defense is needed to protect your reputation and your future.
We defend people charged with all types of white-collar crimes, including:
- Mortgage fraud
- Loan and bank fraud
- Making false statements to an investigator
- Embezzlement
- Writing bad checks
- Credit card theft
- Identity theft
- Conspiracy
- Money laundering
The penalties in white-collar cases are linked to the amount of money you are alleged to have taken. Since crimes such as fraud can involve a large sum of money, you may face a lengthy prison sentence even for something that you didn't think was illegal.
Even if you think that the charges can be explained, you should not say anything to investigators without speaking to an attorney first. As citizen of the United States, you have the right to remain silent. By attempting to explain the circumstances of a criminal charge to police, you may actually give prosecutors information that they did not have before. Even information that you tell to a friend or co-worker could end up being used against you in court.
Early involvement in your case by an experienced defense lawyer may result in a favorable plea bargain or a decision by authorities not to charge you with a crime.
