Unlike other law firms, we do not rely on junior associates to work on these cases. Federal white-collar crimes are serious and can have disastrous penalties if a person is found guilty of the charges. We will not put your case at risk by allowing a junior lawyer to work on it. In fact, the entire legal team is made up of senior federal defense attorneys who have the necessary experience to handle these types of cases. Many of our lawyers served in the U.S. Attorney’s Office or the Department of Justice.
Also, our investigation consultants have previously worked as top-ranking agents in the IRS, DEA, FBI, and the Department of Justice. Our lawyers and investigators’ extensive background and experience give us an advantage over other law firms in Denver, Colorado.

Our Attorneys Handle All Types of White-Collar Criminal Accusations
No matter the type of white-collar allegation, our attorneys and investigators have handled a variety of cases from these agencies. Our legal team has successfully litigated numerous federal grand jury proceedings, including appeals and trials. We have defended accusations of the following white-collar crimes.
Antitrust Violations
Business owners, executives, and other company insiders can face an accusation of antitrust violations. Many of these allegations are handled in civil court, but the federal government can pursue criminal charges. Often, a government agency will look for evidence that you engaged in an anti-competitive practice, like price fixing. Depending on the type of offense, a person can face both civil and criminal charges. At Oberheiden P.C., we have successfully defended clients who have faced allegations of antitrust violations by using our experience and knowledge to craft a strong defense.
Computer Fraud
Today, federal prosecutors have focused on charging individuals with computer fraud for a wide range of actions. IP theft, data breaches, and other crimes involving computers are considered white-collar crimes. Under the current federal computer fraud statutes, individuals can face one to 20 years in prison. Plus, they will have to pay restitution to the victims of these crimes.
Conspiracy
Prosecutors can charge individuals and entities for a wide range of offenses under the current federal conspiracy statutes. In some cases, federal prosecutors cannot prove that a person committed a white-collar crime but can try to prove that the individual conspired to commit the act. Conspiracy can lead to hefty fines and years in federal prison. Facing a federal conspiracy allegation is a serious matter, and you need the right type of legal representation for the case. Any mistake by your defense team can lead to disastrous consequences for you.
Healthcare Fraud
Healthcare fraud can span a wide range of activities. Many healthcare fraud cases are pursued at the civil level, but some of these charges can include criminal accusations. Several federal statutes cover healthcare fraud, including the Anti-Kickback Statute, the False Claims Act, and others that can lead to significant penalties for those found guilty of these crimes. Our Denver defense attorneys have successfully represented healthcare service providers, often resulting in no criminal or civil penalties.
Financial Crimes
Like most white-collar crimes, financial crimes can cover a range of offenses. These defendants can include everyone from regular individuals to large corporations. Many of these crimes will give the defendant an unfair advantage or may involve working with interests outside the United States. Since these crimes differ, you need a solid defense strategy that focuses on the specifics of your particular care. Knowing your specific situation allows the defense attorneys to determine the best approach for you. Some examples of these financial crimes include:
- Counterfeiting
- Credit card fraud
- Embezzlement
- Forgery
- Cryptocurrency fraud
- Mortgage fraud
- Bribery
- Bank fraud
Tax Fraud and Tax Evasion
The Department of Justice and the Internal Revenue Service – Criminal Investigations are the federal authorities that typically investigate tax fraud and tax evasion cases. At Oberheiden P.C., we have lawyers and investigators who are highly experienced with working for these agencies. Our legal team will work to resolve your tax-related issues. Over the years, we have defended various clients facing these types of accusations with substantial success. Like other white-collar crimes, you need a skilled defense team to develop a comprehensive approach to these allegations.
Securities Fraud
Federal securities fraud cases can carry a high level of legal liabilities against private business, brokerage companies, public corporations, company executives, and other individuals. With these white-collar crimes, federal prosecutors are looking to focus on those offenses that hurt consumers and investors, often seeking harsher penalties under the law. Our lawyers and investigators have handled these accusations with a high level of success. If you have been charged with a securities fraud crime or are under investigation, make sure to contact the legal team at Oberheiden P.C.
Frequently Asked Questions About White-Collar Federal Criminal Defense
What Is White-Collar Crime?
While there is no official definition of a white-collar crime, this term is used to describe various crimes, ranging from embezzlement to corporate fraud. The Federal Bureau of Investigation has a special team of agents who handle these crimes. These agents will work with the special prosecutors of the White-Collar Crime Division in the U.S. Attorney’s Office to investigate individuals and entities regarding these crimes. When you face these allegations, you must work against the lawyers and investigators who have spent their lifetimes prosecuting these types of crimes. You need a federal defense legal team with the same experience level to help you achieve a successful outcome in your case.
What Happens When I’m Indicted?
After you have been indicted, you need to contact Oberheiden P.C. After we consult with you, our legal team will develop an effective defense strategy for your case. Unfortunately, the federal prosecution has already presented the evidence against you to a grand jury. These prosecutors have everything they need to take you to court and start the trial proceedings. While federal prosecutors have a head start, we can still help you by working to determine the best ways to handle these allegations. However, you never want to delay in these situations. You must immediately contact a federal defense attorney when you receive an indictment.

What Are the Consequences of a Federal Conviction?

All of these federal crimes are serious, and there is the real possibility of federal incarceration. Also, these crimes are felonies, which can prevent you from applying for a professional license or obtaining a job. However, an accusation of committing a crime does not mean you are guilty. You need to reach out to a federal criminal defense attorney to develop your best legal strategy.
