Business and Financial Crimes Defense in the Birmingham Area
If you have been charged with any type of white collar crime — or been contacted as part of an investigation into job-related or personal financial activity — you know that your freedom and reputation are at stake. Protection of your rights will likely require an attorney capable of executing an effective defense strategy and negotiating skillfully with prosecutors.
In the aftermath of several widely publicized corporate scandals in recent years, federal agencies and local law enforcement have both put increased emphasis on exposing and prosecuting illegal business activity and corruption. White collar crime cases are often complex and challenging to defend. For quality counsel and representation, please contact us at the law firm led by attorney Shane Oncale.
Dedication to Investigating All Circumstances and Building Your Case
Mr. Oncale is an experienced trial lawyer admitted to practice in federal courts across Alabama — where prosecutors are especially relentless and mandatory minimum jail sentences raise the stakes for any defendant. His focus on thorough investigation and strategic case-building can be key assets in your defense against charges such as:
- Embezzlement of private or company funds
- Wire fraud or mail fraud
- Mortgage fraud, bank fraud or other such financial crimes
- Internet crimes, including identity theft or participation in online scams
- Regulatory violations, including those involving financial disclosures required under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
- Insurance fraud or health care fraud, including submission of fraudulent Medicare claims
- Insider trading or stock price manipulation
- Conspiracy, corruption, money laundering and other allegations sometimes prosecuted under the RICO act
Up to the Challenge of Defending You Against Complex Allegations
We recognize that many people accused of white collar crimes either thought their activities were legal or committed the acts under some type of extreme pressure. In other situations, a "whistleblower" may have implicated you to protect his or her own interests. Our firm is prepared to deal with complexities like these and work closely with you on a strategy for protecting your rights and future.
Please do not wait and worry under the strain of white collar crime allegations. For a free consultation with a proven trial lawyer and skilled negotiator with the business and legal knowledge to build a strong case for you, please call or e-mail us at The Oncale Firm today.
