White Collar Crimes Defense Lawyer in Fresno, CA

If you are under investigation for a white collar offense, your reputation, career, and freedom are at stake. At DiSalvo Law, we provide strategic, discreet defense for white collar crime allegations in Fresno and across California’s Central Valley.

Fresno White Collar Crimes Defense Attorney

White collar crime investigations often move quietly for months before charges are filed, involving extensive document review, subpoenas, and financial analysis. At DiSalvo Law, we represent individuals and small business owners under investigation for or charged with white collar offenses in Fresno and throughout the Central Valley.

We focus on protecting your reputation, livelihood, and liberty while navigating complex investigations by local, state, or federal authorities.

Types of White Collar Crime Cases We Handle

We handle a range of white collar matters, including:

  • Embezzlement and employee theft
  • Fraud investigations (wire fraud, mail fraud, insurance fraud)
  • Public benefits and unemployment fraud allegations
  • Forged or false documents in business or financial transactions

These cases often turn on financial records, email communications, and internal company policies. We work closely with you to understand the business context and paper trail.

Consequences of a White Collar Conviction

White collar convictions can lead to:

  • Jail or prison time, especially in large-loss cases
  • Restitution, fines, and asset forfeiture
  • Loss of professional licenses and career opportunities
  • Serious immigration consequences in some situations

Our goal is to limit or avoid criminal liability while also considering parallel civil, licensing, and employment issues.

Why Early Legal Advice Matters in White Collar Cases

Early intervention can make a significant difference in white collar cases. Responding to document requests, subpoenas, and interviews without legal guidance can create unnecessary exposure.

We advise you on how to respond to investigators, preserve important evidence, and avoid missteps that could later be portrayed as concealment or obstruction.

Our Strategy for White Collar Crimes Defense

Our white collar defense approach includes:

• Analyzing financial records, email communications, and contracts
• Working with forensic accountants when necessary
• Identifying weaknesses in the government’s theory of intent and loss
• Engaging in targeted negotiations to limit charges or penalties
• Preparing for trial if negotiations do not protect your core interests

We keep long-term professional and personal consequences in mind throughout the case, including future record-clearing options where available.

Frequently Asked Questions About White Collar Crimes

What is a white collar crime?
White collar crimes generally involve allegations of financial or business-related misconduct, such as fraud, embezzlement, or false statements, rather than physical violence.

How do white collar investigations usually start?
They may begin with a complaint from an employer, an audit, a tip to law enforcement, or information uncovered in another case.

Do white collar cases always involve federal charges?
No. Many white collar matters are prosecuted in state court, while others are handled in federal court or through administrative agencies.

Can I talk to investigators to clear things up?
Speaking to investigators without counsel can be risky. We generally recommend getting legal advice before any interview.

Can I protect my professional license if I am under investigation?
It may be possible to limit licensing consequences through careful negotiation and case resolution. We keep licensing issues in mind from the outset.
