If you were accused of a white collar crime, you could be facing serious penalties. White collar crimes are defined as financially-motivated crimes that occur within a business setting. It could include instances of embezzlement, where an employee takes money that has been entrusted to them by their employer. Any type of fraud could also be included in this category of crime. Credit card fraud and bank fraud are growing problems throughout the country and could lead to years in prison and hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines. In order to cover up where they procured the money, those guilty of white collar crimes resort to money laundering. This refers to attempting to hide where money came from by depositing it into offshore accounts, investing, making large purchases, and more. The layers of legitimate sources hide the true source. If you have been charged with any of these serious crimes, your first step should be to contact an attorney from our team.

DWI

Driving while intoxicated is a serious criminal offense in San Antonio and throughout the state of Texas. If you have been pulled over on suspicion of drunk driving, it is important to realize that this is not a minor traffic ticket that will go away by just paying the fine. Should you be convicted, you will be facing penalties that will include everything from incarceration to the mandatory installation of an Ignition Interlock Device (IID) – you could also suffer from an administrative suspension of your driver's license. These are serious penalties and deserve a serious defense. At our firm, we recognize what is on the line when dealing with these types of cases and know what is on the line – you can rest assured knowing that we will fight for you.
