Peoria, Illinois, White-Collar Crimes Defense LawyerI am Arthur J. Inman, a criminal defense attorney in Peoria, Illinois. I represent people charged with white-collar crimes throughout Illinois, including the counties of Woodford, Marshall, McDonough, and Tazewell, and the cities and surrounding areas of Springfield, Decatur, Bloomington, Galesburg, Rock Island, and Macomb. I am experienced in handling a wide range of white-collar crimes, including:
White-collar crimes are those crimes which do not involve violence or threats, but rather involve taking money or property by fraud or stealth. The threat of prosecution and imprisonment for these crimes is real, as law enforcement and the courts in Illinois are growing increasingly concerned about the effect of this type of crime on small businesses, banks, and individuals. This is especially the case when large amounts of money are involved. You should retain a lawyer at the earliest indication of these kinds of charges. Federal prosecutors frequently pursue "conspiracy" charges for white-collar crimes. If you are charged with conspiracy, you may be held responsible for the theft of a large amount of money or property--money or property which you never saw or handled, but which was obtained through the fraudulent activities of a group of people with whom you conspired. Conspiracy charges are very serious; even if you played only a peripheral role in the fraudulent transaction, you could still face the same penalties as the person who actually stole the money or property. Having practiced criminal law for more than 35 years—including eight spent as a prosecutor—I know how prosecutors handle white-collar cases. I have defended several fraud, embezzlement, and conspiracy cases in both state and federal court, and at the appellate level as well. If you are being charged with a white-collar crime, please contact me at the Law Office of Arthur J. Inman at 309-673-9711. I offer assistance 24 hours a day, seven days a week. |
