Fraud & Embezzlement

Chicago White-Collar Crime Lawyers, Federal & Illinois

A conviction for a white-collar crime such as theft, fraud, or embezzlement can take a heavy toll on your life.

White-collar crimes are felonies, which carry lengthy prison sentences. Since employers routinely conduct background checks of prospective employees, a felony conviction can also make it nearly impossible to get a good job. Few employers would consider hiring someone who has a conviction for fraud, embezzlement, or any other white-collar crime.

To preserve your freedom and future, you need a lawyer who is willing to fight for you.

At the criminal defense law firm of Wigell and Associates, Ltd., we have obtained favorable results in white collar crime cases, including embezzlement, fraud, forgery, identity theft, larceny, accounting fraud, Medicare fraud, mortgage fraud and elder fraud.

We will investigate all of the evidence and other materials so that we understand both the strengths and the weaknesses of the case against you. We will conduct our own investigation to gather all of the pertinent facts that may assist in your defense.

Restitution for conviction of embezzlement charges

In addition to incarceration, a conviction on felony embezzlement charges often requires restitution - repayment of the funds that were taken. Restitution is available to the courts as a sentencing option. In order to satisfy that requirement, the government could seize your home, vehicles and other unprotected assets. That is one more reason why solid counsel during an investigation or following criminal charges is vital.
