What is a White Collar Crime?

The term "white collar crime" refers to crimes that are non-violent and motivated by money. The phrase was first used decades ago by sociologist Edwin Sutherland in 1939 to describe "a crime committed by a person of respectability and high social status in the course of his occupation." Many white collar crimes involved business and financial aspects that are much more complicated than your standard robbery. An experienced attorney can help you defend any of white collar crime charges.
