For most people accused of white-collar crime in Texas, this marks their introduction to the criminal justice system. It’s especially frightening because the majority of these crimes are classified as felonies, and the government is seeking a large fine or prison sentence to justify the time and resources spent on the case.
White-collar cases are also complex because the investigation doesn’t merely consist of a police officer observing criminal activity from a squad car, but rather, federal or Texas state investigators often spending years “connecting the dots” in bank and accounting records in order to nail down a suspect.
