White Collar Crimes

White collar crimes are crimes charged that usually relate to business.  They are often complex cases, and often times legitimate business practices can be mistaken by the government as crimes and charged as such.  These types of cases are treated with extreme severity at both the state and federal levels, and lengthy prison sentences are not uncommon in many of these types of cases.
