Omaha White Collar Lawyer
The term white-collar crime was coined in 1939, and has since become synonymous with a variety of frauds committed by both government and business personnel. The Federal Bureau of Investigation describes a white-collar crime as victimless, and a single scam that can destroy a company, devastate families by wiping out life savings, or cost investors billions of dollars.
At Inkelaar Law, our Omaha criminal defense attorneys would like our clients to understand that not all arrests lead to a conviction, and everyone is innocent until proven guilty. We also understand how people may feel frightened, confused and angry, as there are many complexities in the legal process. Our team is here to protect you, and fight for your freedom, family, occupation, finances, and reputation.
