Defending Against The Full Range Of White Collar Criminal Charges

People charged with white collar crimes may be facing more than prison time. Conviction on a charge such as fraud or embezzlement may mean the end of a career and the loss of a reputation. The consequences to an individual’s family may also be profound — even if there is a not guilty verdict or dismissal of charges. It is important to have an attorney who can manage both the legal issues and the inevitable collateral damage.

Seek Representation Right Away

The lawyers at the Springboro, Ohio, law firm of Smith, Meier & Webb, LPA, are experienced attorneys who defend clients against all types of white collar crime charges. We advise individuals who suspect they may be charged or are under investigation to seek legal counsel before they are arrested. People with representation are often able to minimize the consequences of criminal investigations and protect their futures.

Because each situation is different, and the phrase “white collar crime” covers a wide variety of financial crimes, we tailor our legal solutions to the individual circumstances and facts of each case. Our principal attorney, John D. Smith, has been practicing law since 1980 and knows how to build a strong case, whether the charge is forgery, identity theft or credit card fraud.

We Represent Clients Who Face A Wide Range Of Charges

Our law firm defends clients against charges such as these:

  • Fraud
  • Embezzlement
  • Identify theft
  • Money laundering
  • Check forgery
  • Computer crimes
  • Mail fraud, stock manipulation, insurance fraud or bank fraud
  • Medicare and health care fraud
  • Securities fraud

Some of these crimes, such as mail fraud and securities fraud, are federal crimes that carry stiff penalties. Our attorneys fight hard to reduce or dismiss charges to keep our clients out of federal prison.

How We Help

If a white collar criminal case proceeds to trial, our attorneys conduct an exacting investigation to determine the facts of the case. We interview witnesses, review police reports, subpoena documents and consult with forensic accountants and other experts. In cases of high-profile defendants, we are often able to manage the publicity and exposure our clients receive, minimizing the damage to reputations and standing in the community. Our goal is to protect the rights of each client and ensure that all mitigating circumstances are fully revealed.
