Our White Collar Crime Defense Practice
Offenses such as bribery, embezzlement, loan fraud, mail fraud, wire fraud, securities fraud, insurance fraud and tax fraud often involve a client who is a businessman or woman. Charges of this nature of such an individual can destroy a career and thus must be defended thoroughly and aggressively to assure that all issues are explored and resolved in our client's favor.
Allan H. Stokke and James D. Riddet each have a wealth of experience defending business executives, lawyers, doctors and political figures in state and federal courts. Our success in resolving such cases satisfactorily for our clients is well known among professional and business individuals.
Stokke & Riddet handles the defense of all types of white collar crimes, including embezzlement, bribery and false loan applications. We also defend people charged with any type of criminal fraud, from securities and tax fraud to insurance fraud, mail or wire fraud, health care fraud, and bank fraud.
We will take your case at an early stage, whether you are only under investigation or you have already been charged. If you have not yet been charged, we will do everything in our power to prevent the filing of formal charges, including:
- Advising prosecutors of evidence favorable to your case or detrimental to their case
- Arranging for a meeting with prosecutors that might clear up any potential allegations against you
We will carefully review the circumstances of your case and advise you whether we believe it's in your best interests to talk to authorities. If so, we will be present with you when you do. If you are going to be charged, we will work with prosecutors to try to avoid an arrest, letting you turn yourself in.
