Computer Fraud
Computer fraud is a type of white-collar crime that uses computers to commit a wide range of offenses, such as data breaches, intellectual property theft, or other criminal acts.

Contact the legal team at Oberheiden P.C. to discuss your options and begin building a strong defense.
Intellectual Property
Intellectual property claims are often considered civil conflicts between private entities. However, these allegations can also be pursued as criminal cases by the Department of Justice, especially if the claims involve the theft of copyrights, patents, or trademarks. Additionally, corporate espionage may be considered a criminal offense if it is used to steal intellectual property. At Oberheiden P.C., our team of federal attorneys has the skills to defend against accusations of IP infringement and espionage, both in civil litigation and criminal prosecutions.

Our team has experience handling insurance fraud cases, including business interruption policy and property damage claims. In the past, we have also represented insurance companies facing criminal charges, such as premium diversion, fee churning, and claim denials made in bad faith.
Securities Fraud

Tax Fraud and Tax Evasion
The Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Department of Justice, and the Internal Revenue Service – Criminal Investigations (IRS-CI) are the primary federal agencies responsible for investigating tax fraud and tax evasion. At Oberheiden P.C., we have professionals who have previously worked in these agencies, and their experience can be invaluable in resolving your tax situation. We have successfully defended many clients facing criminal charges related to tax violations. Our team understands the importance of developing and implementing a comprehensive defense strategy to avoid prosecution.

Questions and Answers About White-Collar Crime
What Is the Definition of a White-Collar Crime?
White-collar crime refers to financial offenses that often involve fraudulent activities. Federal law enforcement agencies have been focusing on these types of crimes across the country. Highly trained teams of prosecutors handle white-collar cases for the government. For that reason, it is important to have an experienced federal white-collar law firm to defend against these charges.
Are These Crimes Less Serious Than Other Criminal Actions?
Many people believe that white-collar defendants are treated less harshly than others. However, prosecutors increasingly seek strict penalties for those individuals convicted of white-collar crimes. To the public, there is a perception that those convicted of white-collar offenses “get off easy.” In reality, many of those accused of these crimes hire skilled federal criminal defense attorneys to represent them. An experienced federal criminal defense law firm can negotiate with prosecutors and provide strong representation in court. Usually, that can help to mitigate the consequences of a white-collar crime conviction. With any white-collar criminal case, the assistance of a qualified federal criminal defense attorney can be critical to reaching the best outcome for you.
What Is an Indictment?
An indictment is a formal charge in federal court, indicating that federal prosecutors have completed their investigation and presented the case to a grand jury. As a result, the jury has found probable cause to believe you have committed a crime. At this stage, the federal government has already started to build its case against you. If you have recently been indicted, it is important to contact an experienced federal criminal defense attorney as soon as possible. At Oberheiden P.C., our legal team will ensure that you have the best representation to defend against these federal charges.
Should I Work With Prosecutors or Accept a Plea Deal?
Plea agreements are frequently used in federal criminal cases to resolve the issue without going to trial. However, it is important to remember that entering a guilty plea is not always the best option. Even if you want to accept a plea agreement, you should speak with a skilled federal criminal defense attorney before discussing the case with the prosecutor. At Oberheiden P.C., our attorneys can thoroughly investigate the case and identify potential weaknesses. With this information, we could challenge the charges at trial or negotiate a more favorable plea agreement with the prosecutorial team. Our criminal defense attorneys will provide you with valuable guidance and representation throughout the legal process.
Do I Need a Federal White-Collar Defense Law Firm?
Federal investigations are typically more complex than those tried in state court. Also, there may be a longer investigation period before charges are filed. If you are the subject of a federal investigation, it is vital to seek the guidance of an experienced federal criminal defense law firm. Your attorney can communicate with federal prosecutors and try to resolve the matter before an indictment is issued. They can also identify weaknesses in the government’s case and use this information to negotiate a plea agreement or challenge the accusations at trial.
