What Is a White-Collar Crime?
When people think of white-collar crime, they often envision gangsters, mobs, crime rings, and other organized offenses. Much of this imagery comes from the movies, as Hollywood has made cinematic efforts to depict some of the most notorious and notable mafia and mob prosecutions of all time. However, such stereotypes are not the only examples of white-collar crime. In fact, white-collar crime can involve very inconspicuous transactions. In general, they are non-violent crimes, often dealing with money theft, general fraud, and social scams.
White-collar crime is prosecuted through federal laws or New York's legal system. Prosecutors are quick to punish white-collar offenders and do not hesitate to impose significant penalties such as hefty fines and ample time behind bars.
While authorities remain aggressive in pursuing offenders of white-collar crime, it is not hard for a person to be unintentionally brought into a scheme and be unaware of the criminal repercussions. For those accused of a financially motivated crime, it is helpful to retain a qualified New York City white-collar crime lawyer who can challenge any allegations.
Defense Strategies for White-Collar Crimes
Consequences of a white-collar crime conviction include jail time, fines, and more. Depending on the terms of your crime or the results of an accusation, you might be charged with either a misdemeanor or a felony.
Types of white-collar crimes we defend against include:
- Medicare fraud
- Piracy or intellectual property theft
- Tax fraud
- Social Security fraud
- Internet crimes
- Illegal pharmacies
- Money laundering
- Mail and wire fraud
- Identity theft
- Credit card theft
- Embezzlement
- Forgery
Ultimately, these schemes make up the most common federal offenses; however, there are several other types of federal white-collar crimes. Again, many offenses overlap in nature and are chargeable under both state and federal laws. Many methods involve several defendants and several different criminal elements. For this reason, it helps to have legal assistance when facing such accusations.

Our New York City white-collar criminal defense attorney has successfully defended countless cases, working to produce evidence and build defenses that can give you an increased chance at a positive resolution.

Testimonials

Mark Bederow came to the rescue on the worst day of my life. He represented me after a manic episode in 2016 during which I'd been violent. (At the time I was untreated and unmedicated for bipolar 1. I wrote a book about my very fortunate journey to acceptance and better health called BURN RATE: Launching a Startup and Losing My Mind, published 2022.) Under Mark's care, the case was ultimately dismissed and expunged. Forever grateful to Mark for shining light during the darkest days of my life. He is a wonderful human being and an outstanding attorney, and it is a privilege that I was able to work with him. I feel lucky, and I wish Mark's services for anyone dealing with anything, including a mental health issue that becomes a criminal matter.- A.D.

We have dealt with many lawyers in the past several years and 99% of them want the most amount of money to do the least amount of work. Mark Bederow is not your typical lawyer.

I’ve never met a lawyer as intelligent, passionate about winning, and completely in his client’s corner. Mark Bederow is brilliant, he is a champion of justice, and his love for the law is evident as he relentlessly fights for his clients.
