Monterey White Collar Crime Criminal Defense Lawyer
White collar crime is often described as a financial, economic, or corporate crime such as fraud, theft, or embezzlement. It is often carried out by sophisticated means. Fraud can include misrepresentation, securities fraud, or SEC issues, phony second deeds of trust, or other con man schemes.
I am attorney James H. Newhouse. For more than 40 years, I have been devoting 100% of my legal practice to personally defending people arrested and accused of criminal offenses, including white collar crime. I am certified as a criminal law specialist by the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization.
My firm is based in Monterey, California, and I counsel clients in Monterey and the nearby communities of Salinas, Carmel, Marina, Pacific Grove, Seaside Pebble Beach, and King City. Contact me right away for a free consultation in my office. Or, call my cell phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week: (831) 206-2186.
The most important thing to remember in the criminal defense of white collar crime is that it is negotiable. Oftentimes, these cases can be kept out of the criminal justice system. With a skilled Monterey white collar criminal defense lawyer at your side, arrangements can sometimes be made for you to pay back any stolen money or use promissory notes to rectify the situation as much as possible.
As is always the case, contact me as soon as you believe you may need the services of a qualified criminal defense lawyer. Together, we can evaluate any evidence against you and decide whether to pursue plea negotiations or proceed to trial. Whichever you choose, I will stand up for your rights and defend you at every turn in the legal maze. For further information, see my information page on criminal law.
