Federal Criminal Attorney Assists Kansas, Missouri defendants in white collar crime cases

White collar crimes are non-violent crimes that are generally commited by working professionals during the course of their jobs. Examples of white collar crimes include bribery, fraud, embezzlement and forgery. An emerging new type of white collar crime is computer crime.

Traditionally, because white collar crimes are non-violent and tend to be committed by working professionals with no criminal background, sentencing for a white collar crime conviction was less stringent than for other crimes.

However, as the news continues to be filled with stories of corporate greed and executive crime amid the economic downturn that is harming middle class families across the country, the federal criminal courts are imposing increasingly strong sentences for those convicted of a white collar crime.

Kansas City federal criminal defense attorney Chris Angles has experience guiding clients through the federal court system on matters of white collar crime. You should know that white collar cases vary depending on the severity of the effect the crime had on the people involved. As we've seen in recent news, CEOs accused of stealing employee's pensions received harsher sentences than other white collar criminals because of the number of people affected and the devastating effect of having one's retirement taken away.
