White Collar Crimes

Amarillo White Collar Crime Lawyers

Facing State or Criminal Charges? Contact Our Firm.

While typically non-violent financial offenses, white-collar crime convictions can ruin reputations and lead to job or career loss, the loss of professional licenses, incarceration, and hefty fines.

Individuals, businesses, or government officials are among those who commit these crimes. They typically involve fraud, deception, or abuse of trust rather than physical violence. They are commonly perpetrated by professionals, executives, or employees in corporate, financial, or government positions who have access to sensitive financial systems or resources.

Texas aggressively prosecutes white-collar crimes, treating them as serious offenses that can lead to fines, restitution, and lengthy prison sentences. Depending on the circumstances, these crimes fall under state or federal law.

When facing white-collar crime charges, you need a legal team that understands the complexities and nuances of these cases. At Tisdell Law Firm, we defend against these state and federal charges, offering comprehensive case analysis, proven defense strategies, formidable negotiation skills, and relentless courtroom representation.

Laws & Penalties for White Collar Crimes in Texas

Texas law applies when the crime is committed within the state and affects local businesses or individuals. Federal charges apply when the crime involves interstate commerce, federal agencies, or significant financial losses.

The penalties for white-collar crimes in Texas are primarily based on Texas theft laws under the Texas Penal Code § 31.03 and related fraud statutes. The classification of offenses depends on the amount stolen or defrauded.

Examples of penalties include:

Misdemeanor: up to a year in prison and a fine of up to $4,000
State jail felony: six months to two years in jail and a fine of up to $10,000
Third-degree felony: two to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000
Second-degree felony: two to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000
First-degree felony: five to 99 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000

Federal white-collar crimes can lead to decades in prison and fines in the millions, depending on the case.

Law Enforcement & Prosecution of Amarillo White Collar Crimes

Texas Department of Insurance (TDI): Investigates insurance fraud

How Tisdell Law Firm Can Help in White Collar Crime Cases

Hiring an experienced defense lawyer is critical when facing allegations of state or federal white-collar crime. These criminal charges are complex. Prosecutors use bank records, emails, wire transfers, and forensic accounting to prove their case. Our lawyers know how to challenge this evidence.

Many charges involve business deals, tax issues, or accounting fraud and require legal and financial knowledge. These cases often begin months or years before an arrest. Our team may be able to intervene early to negotiate with prosecutors to prevent charges from being filed.

Anything you say to law enforcement can be used against you. We can protect your rights to prevent you from making statements that harm your case during police questioning or investigations.

We can challenge circumstantial evidence, show a lack of intent, or entrapment, where applicable. From negotiating plea deals to aggressively defending you at trial, our law firm has a reputation for effectiveness and strong client advocacy.
