Handling State And Federal White Collar Crimes And Investigations

White collar crimes typically involve nonviolent offenses committed in professional or business settings. These cases often trigger parallel civil, regulatory or administrative actions, making early intervention critical. Our criminal defense attorneys are equipped to handle both the legal and reputational dimensions of these matters.

We represent clients facing federal or state investigations or criminal charges involving:

• Health care fraud, including allegations of billing fraud, kickbacks, or false claims in medical practices or research institutions
• Financial and securities fraud, such as cases involving insider trading, Ponzi schemes, misrepresentation or investor deception
• Construction and procurement fraud related to bid rigging, false invoicing, misuse of public funds or other alleged criminal violations
• Tax fraud and wage theft, including accusations of tax evasion, underreporting income or unlawfully withholding wages
• Research misconduct involving falsification of data, ethical violations in clinical trials, misuse of grant funding or other allegations
• Criminal appeals in white collar cases, including post-conviction relief, challenges to trial errors and constitutional violations
• Internal investigations and compliance advice, providing proactive legal guidance for companies navigating internal audits, whistleblower claims, enforcement actions or regulatory inquiries

Each of these areas presents unique legal and factual challenges. They carry the possibility of severe penalties, both civil and criminal. Our clients are often facing the prospect of significant prison time, fines and asset forfeiture.

Our attorneys have the courtroom experience and investigative skill to build strong defenses. They know how to challenge government evidence, negotiate favorable outcomes and present powerful defenses in court.

Discreet Representation For Those Facing High-Stakes Investigations

White collar crimes require a high level of legal skill, strategic insight and deep experience. These are not routine criminal matters. They often involve years of investigation, extensive documentation and multiple government agencies.

White collar investigations often begin quietly, with a subpoena, audit or informal inquiry. However, the consequences can escalate quickly. Our lawyers know how to intervene early, manage communications with government agencies and prevent unnecessary exposure.

We work with forensic accountants, compliance experts and investigators to uncover facts and build a defense rooted in evidence. Our goal is not only to protect our clients from criminal liability but also to preserve their professional standing and minimize collateral damage.

We understand the importance of discretion in these cases. We handle every case with the sensitivity and seriousness it deserves.

Fighting Federal And State White Collar Charges

White collar crimes may be prosecuted under Massachusetts law or in federal court. Federal cases often involve agencies like:

• The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)
• The Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation Division (IRS-CI)
• The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
• The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA)
• The Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office – White Collar and Public Integrity Division
• The Massachusetts Department of Revenue (DOR)
• The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services – Office of Inspector General (HHS-OIG)
• The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ)

Our attorneys are familiar with the investigative processes of these and other agencies. They are also highly experienced in state and federal criminal courts throughout Suffolk County. They know how to challenge indictments, suppress evidence, negotiate with prosecutors and take other steps to assert a fierce defense. They also advise clients on parallel proceedings, including civil enforcement actions and professional licensing issues.
