White collar crimes can dismantle your career, reputation, and financial stability—even before charges are formally filed. These non-violent but high-stakes offenses are often investigated by powerful federal agencies like the FBI, IRS, and SEC. If you're being questioned, investigated, or formally charged, your next move is critical.

At The Law Offices of Thomas J. McHugh, PLLC, we bring extensive experience defending clients against state and federal white collar crime allegations. Based in San Antonio, Texas, we understand the aggressive tactics used by prosecutors and the serious consequences you face—including prison time, asset forfeiture, and permanent damage to your personal and professional life.

What Counts as a White Collar Crime?

White collar crimes are typically non-violent offenses that involve fraud, deception, or abuse of trust for financial gain. These cases often require a deep understanding of business records, banking regulations, and federal statutes.

Common white collar offenses include:

• Fraud: Healthcare fraud, mortgage fraud, wire fraud, securities fraud, and insurance fraud.
• Embezzlement: Misappropriating funds or assets entrusted to your care.
• Money Laundering: Attempting to conceal the origin of illegally obtained money.
• Tax Evasion: Underreporting income or inflating deductions to avoid taxes.
• Public Corruption: Misuse of official position or bribery.
• RICO Charges: Racketeering and organized financial crimes.
• Credit Card & Bank Fraud: Fraudulent use of financial instruments or false information.
• Ponzi Schemes: Investment fraud that uses new investor money to pay earlier investors.

Why You Need an Experienced San Antonio White Collar Crimes Attorney

White collar cases often involve:

• Federal investigations by agencies like the FBI or SEC
• Complex financial records and forensic accounting
• Grand jury subpoenas and wiretaps

Unlike other criminal cases, white collar charges often begin with a quiet investigation. If you suspect you're under investigation, you must act immediately to protect your rights and build your defense.
