Many posts on this blog have stressed the seriousness of felony charges. People likely understand that they can face serious prison sentences, large fines and probation for a conviction on felony charges. However, people may not always think of the wide range of felony charges available. Not every felony charge is just for a violent crime. In fact, many white collar crimes, are purely financial. As we explained in a recent post, Oregon residents can face a Class B felony for money laundering, even when no violence was used in a case.
Oregon residents should know that white collar crimes include a variety of criminal activity including money laundering, extortion, bribery, public corruption, fraud and tax evasion. Like with felony charges for violent crimes, white collar crimes need aggressive criminal defense strategies.
In these cases, require quick action to limit the social, financial and criminal consequences.
