Facing a White Collar Criminal Charge? Our Firm Builds Strategic Defense That Works
Los Angeles Criminal Defense Firm Protecting Professionals Accused of White Collar Crimes
If you’ve been accused of a white collar crime in California, it’s easy to feel like the deck is stacked against you. These are not minor offenses — they’re serious felony charges that can cost you your career, destroy your reputation, and result in years behind bars. Whether you’re being investigated by your employer, the government, or federal agencies, what you do next matters. And the truth is, the earlier you act, the better your chance of avoiding prosecution or minimizing the damage.
At The Law Offices of Arash Hashemi, we’ve been handling white collar criminal defense in Los Angeles County for over two decades. Whether you’re facing charges for embezzlement, wire fraud, forgery, tax evasion, or any other financial crime, we know how to fight back — and how to protect everything you’ve worked for.
What makes white collar cases especially challenging is the way they’re investigated. These cases are rarely based on a single moment or piece of evidence. They involve months (or years) of financial records, emails, transaction histories, interviews, and surveillance. Prosecutors often build their cases quietly, and by the time charges are filed, they believe they have everything they need to convict you. That’s why early legal intervention is key. If you’ve been contacted by investigators, subpoenaed, or simply believe you’re under scrutiny — do not wait. Speaking with a white collar criminal attorney now could prevent criminal charges later.
The foundation of any effective white collar criminal defense strategy is simple: break down the government’s assumptions. Most of these charges require proof of criminal intent — that you knowingly and willfully set out to defraud or steal for personal gain. But prosecutors often overreach. We’ve seen cases where bad accounting, honest mistakes, or poor communication were misinterpreted as criminal conduct. Our job is to challenge the prosecution’s evidence, question their narrative, and dismantle their theory — one element at a time.
We also focus on how the evidence was obtained. Many white collar investigations involve invasive searches, overbroad subpoenas, or aggressive use of confidential witnesses. If your rights were violated during the investigation — for example, through an illegal search or improper interrogation — we move to suppress that evidence and weaken the government’s case from the start. Our firm works with experienced financial experts, forensic accountants, and investigators to expose flaws in the prosecution’s timeline, calculations, or assumptions.
In some cases, the best outcome comes before charges are ever filed. We act early — contacting the District Attorney or U.S. Attorney, providing context or explanation, and in some cases negotiating a civil resolution or restitution agreement. For first-time offenders and non-violent white collar allegations, it may be possible to avoid criminal court altogether through diversion programs or creative settlements. And even when formal charges are filed, our goal is always the same: protect your reputation, avoid jail, and keep your record clean.
We understand that people facing white collar criminal charges often feel isolated and overwhelmed. You may be unsure who to trust, what to say, or how bad things really are. That’s where we come in. When you contact our office, Attorney Arash Hashemi will personally review your situation, explain the risks and options, and immediately begin crafting a strategy designed for your protection. We don’t wait for court dates. We act now — demanding discovery, challenging allegations, and preparing your defense before the prosecution gains ground.
