State and Federal White-Collar Crime Defense Lawyer

The Law Office of James P. Whalen represents clients charged with state and federal white-collar crimes. White-collar crimes are generally classified in Texas and by the federal government as felony offenses. They carry severe punishments for those convicted, including large fines, imprisonment, probation and other penalties. The nature of the circumstances and the severity of the crime can dramatically increase these penalties.

A white-collar crime is a broad term that encompasses crimes that allege the deliberate deception of another party for the purpose of securing unfair or unlawful gain. Many of our clients who are arrested for white-collar crimes are upstanding professionals who have no criminal history and are dealing with the criminal justice system for the first time. Often, these individuals are simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.
