White Collar Crime in Massachusetts.

Everyone has heard of Bernie Madoff.  His case is bigger than life and we might think that flying below the radar prevents us or loved ones from ever being accused of white collar crime.  Know this, no matter what scale the offense may be law enforcement officers have made it a focal point.  We’re talking US Attorney and the FBI.  The kind of attention NOBODY wants.

White collar crime comes in many forms such as –
1.  Corporate embezzlement.  The big fish in a small pond.
2.  Obstructing justice.  Lying to protect someone will get you in a world of trouble.
3.  Stolen credit cards.  It never pays.  The big companies will always catch up.
4.  Mortgage fraud.  You may feel like you own it, but really the bank does.
5.  Mail fraud.  Yes, it still exists even in this electronic world…and much more.

You must come to terms with the fact that this is NOT a victimless crime like robbery or assault.  If you or a loved one has been arrested take it VERY seriously.  Your first phone call should be to Massachusetts white collar defense attorney Paul R. Moraski.  Call Attorney Moraski any time in Boston at (978) 744-1200.

The Commonwealth Of Massachusetts Has Strict Penalties When It Comes To DUI/DWI/OUI

Many people think they will never have to face the judicial system as a defendant. They say, "I'm not a criminal, I'll never do jail time." Never say never.

Maybe you were out celebrating St.Patricks Day and you have a green beer with your friends. Your friends decide to keep the night going but you've got to be at work in the morning and you cut it off after you finish your pint. You drink a water, have a bite to eat, then head home and hop in bed.

Now, rewind back to the part where you cut yourself off after that one beer. Now, say you weigh 130 pounds and you only ate a salad. You get pulled over by the police and are instructed to perform a breathalyzer. You exceed the legal limit by a hair. A one size fits all legal limit. The third act changes dramatically now. You are no longer resting comfortably in your bed you are taking a mug shot and being booked for either DUI or OUI.

Feel like a criminal now? You're not. You're a person who was caught in an unfortunate circumstance and now you are facing criminal charges. The first thing you are going to want to do is obtain legal representation.

Many circumstances surround each individual case and that is where we come in and evaluate your case. Everything from the conduct of the arresting officer to the choices you were given at the scene will be examined with a fine tooth comb. In many instances, police, who are human, may have made an error in procedure deeming your case inadmissible. Perhaps your rights were violated during the arrest and/or booking process. These any many more injustices can and will be uncovered when we take your case.

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts has strict penalties when it comes to DUI/DWI/OUI. Don't find yourself at the mercy of the legal system alone. Contact Massachusetts Criminal Defense Attorney Paul R. Moraski at (978) 744-1200 immediately for a consultation if you have been charged with a crime.

What Is A White Collar Crime?

Have you or someone you know been accused of a White Collar Crime? What exactly is a White Collar Crime and what makes it different from other crimes?

White Collar Crimes are a financially motivated nonviolent crimes committed for monetary gain. When we hear this we may think that it's limited to hedge fund managers ands financiers who tried to embezzle and defraud billions. While yes, those are types of white collar crimes, White Collar Crimes aren't simply limited to such a grand scale.

If you filed a false insurance claim you could be facing such charges. Anytime you make an attempt to defraud a business, you are engaging in a White Collar Crime and are subject to the fullest extent of punishment allowed by law. Perhaps you know someone who has defrauded the government out of food stamps, unemployment benefits, taxes. All of these crimes can be committed by anyone.

Often times, people who would otherwise do the right thing find themselves committing White Collar Crimes unknowingly. Make no mistake about it, District Attorneys will pursue white collar criminals with the same vengeance as other crimes. Many times making an example of the defendant to discourage future indiscretions.

If you or someone you know has been accused of a White Collar Crime, don't underestimate what you're up against. The notion that a non violent crime will be remedied with a slap on the wrist is false. Contact Massachusetts White Collar Criminal Defense Attorney Paul R. Moraski at (978) 744-1200 if you have been charged with a White Collar Crime. Your career and freedom may depend on it!
