Milwaukee White Collar Crime Lawyer

What are White Collar Crimes?

Often committed in a business situation, a white collar crime usually involves some kind of nonviolent criminal activity that is carried out for the purpose of financial gain.

In the 1930s, legal violations by persons of “respectability and high social status” made during the course of their work became known as “white collar crimes.” Since that time, these types of crimes have significantly increased in number and complexity.

At Schiro Criminal Defense, we’ll give you one-on-one counsel through every step of the legal process. Schiro Criminal Defense offers more than 40 years of experience fighting for its clients. Attorney Schiro has the skills and resources to handle the most complex issues that come with charges of fraud and financial offenses.
