White Collar Crimes

White Collar Crime Defense Lawyer in St. Petersburg

Protecting Your Rights & Best Interests in Pinellas County

If you have been arrested or are under investigation for a white collar crime in Florida, the time to act is now. These cases are often the result of lengthy investigations by state or federal agencies. Investigators may already have built a case against you when you learn you are a target. Whether you are facing allegations of fraud, embezzlement, or another financial offense, you need experienced legal representation to protect your rights and limit your exposure.

I have been practicing law in Florida for more than 29 years. My experience includes being a prosecutor handling severe criminal cases in Pinellas County. I now use that background to aggressively defend individuals and business professionals in St. Petersburg who face complex, high-stakes white collar charges.
