Factors that Make White Collar Crime Prosecutions Different
Here are some of the distinguishing characteristics about white collar crimes:
- Federal charges may be involved, which carry stiffer penalties and bigger potential consequences
- Federal or state organizations may have conducted an in-depth investigation into the case before bringing charges against you, so the weight of the evidence may be stronger
- Prosecutors don’t bring these types of cases without believing they’ll win, because they want good publicity
These factors demonstrate why the choice of criminal defense lawyer you choose is so pivotal.

Cate Purdum was present, attentive, always returned my calls (I had attorneys before who never call you back), answered my questions and never ignored my calls. If I ever need an attorney in the future I will definitely go back to her.

Catherine Meehan did an amazing job. Very responsive, friendly, and obviously very good with words. She kept me out of jail and home with my kiddo. For that I can't ever repay the favor. Much appreciated hope I never need your assistance again but if so I'll definitely give you a call. Thank you again.
