WHITE COLLAR CRIMES
Experienced Criminal Defense for Fraud & Financial Crime Charges in Middle Tennessee
Strategic, Discreet Defense When the Stakes Are High
White collar charges often move fast—investigations can lead to arrests with little warning, and the consequences for your career, reputation, and freedom can be severe. These cases require more than just legal knowledge—they demand a strategic, detail-oriented defense led by an attorney who understands how financial crime cases are built and dismantled.
With over
40
years of courtroom experience, I represent clients in Nashville, Franklin, Murfreesboro, Gallatin, and surrounding areas facing state or federal white collar charges. You’ll work directly with me—not a junior associate—so we can respond to the investigation or indictment with focus and speed.
Types of White Collar Crimes I Handle
Fraud
Including bank fraud, insurance fraud, mortgage fraud, and fraudulent business practices. I investigate financial records, question prosecutorial assumptions, and challenge the credibility of complex allegations.
Embezzlement
Defense for professionals accused of misappropriating company or client funds. These cases often hinge on accounting discrepancies or intent—details I scrutinize from the start.
Forgery & Identity Theft
Charges related to falsified checks, forged documents, or use of stolen identities. I work to uncover weaknesses in the government’s timeline, evidence chain, and data handling.
Bribery & Public Corruption
When accused of using position or influence improperly, clients need discreet, aggressive representation. I’ve handled politically sensitive cases and understand how to manage both the courtroom and public optics.
Wire Fraud & Mail Fraud
These federal charges often accompany broader investigations. I examine how communications were used and whether the prosecution can prove criminal intent.
Contractor & Financial Disputes with Criminal Allegations
Some white collar matters begin as civil disputes. I represent clients facing criminal investigation stemming from real estate development, construction, or consumer protection claims.
