White Collar Criminal Defense Lawyers in Connecticut and New York

Defense for Fraud, Embezzlement, Insider Trading, and More

If you are facing white collar criminal charges in Connecticut or New York, such as fraud, embezzlement, insider trading, or computer crimes, securing an experienced defense attorney is crucial. Pattis & Paz LLC provides aggressive and knowledgeable legal representation for individuals accused of these complex, non-violent financial crimes. With over two decades of successful defense in white collar cases, our team is equipped to handle the intricacies of both state and federal legal systems.

Understanding White Collar Crimes

White collar crimes typically involve deceit or theft carried out for financial gain. Common types include:

Fraud

Embezzlement

Insider Trading

Computer Crime

These crimes often draw the attention of major enforcement agencies such as the U.S. Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Professionals like CPAs, attorneys, stockbrokers, corporate officers, and entrepreneurs frequently find themselves scrutinized in these investigations.

The Challenges of White Collar Criminal Charges

Facing white collar charges means confronting several simultaneous threats:

Criminal investigations by federal agencies like the FBI, SEC, and IRS.

Civil liabilities arising from lawsuits by alleged victims.

Licensing revocation proceedings, particularly for regulated professionals.

Moreover, those accused often contend with media scrutiny that can exacerbate public and private repercussions, and potentially attract additional allegations once charges become public knowledge.

Rapid Response and Strategic Defense

From the moment of accusation or investigation, Pattis & Paz LLC acts swiftly to counteract the prosecution's advances. Our defense strategies include:

Immediate case review, demanding full disclosure of all case details.

Investigative support to challenge the credibility of witnesses and the legality of evidence collection.

Strategic legal motions to exclude improper evidence and mitigate potential charges.

By securing a comprehensive understanding of the case against you, challenging questionable evidence, and employing targeted legal tactics, we protect your rights and aim to set the stage for a successful defense.
