Be careful not to speak directly to the authorities or the insurance company. Providing statements to law enforcement officers may jeopardize your case. By speaking to law enforcement or investigators without an attorney you run the risk of being accused of lying. You may be accused of lying to police because of a lapse of memory, miscommunication between you and the investigators or on rare occasion, the investigator may intentionally misrepresent your words. Before making a statement that hurts your case, please contact the Orlando Law Offices of Mark L. Horwitz.

If convicted for a white-collar crime, you may face both civil and criminal penalties. Criminally, you may face years in prison and hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines. Civilly, you may face monetary damages, forfeitures of your property, and adverse effects on your professional standing and license status. The prosecutor may also charge you under the federal RICO act. Under RICO, you may face treble damages for the injuries your actions caused.

Here are some examples of white-collar crimes:
