Nonviolent Crimes With Serious Consequences
White collar crimes are criminal activities that are nonviolent, but are still considered serious offenses in South Carolina and can result in federal prison sentences, fines and a permanent criminal record. They can include a wide range of illegal conduct, including: identity and credit card theft, counterfeiting, bribery and extortion. If you have been charged or convicted with a white collar crime, the best thing to do is to consult with an experienced lawyer right away.
