Honolulu White Collar Crimes Attorney

The term “white collar crimes” relates to financial crimes that are non-violent in nature. These crimes are usually committed by individuals, businesses, or government professionals. It was first defined by the sociologist Edwin Sutherland in 1939 as “a crime committed by a person of respectability and high social status in the course of their occupation”. Because these crimes were thought to be usually perpetrated by people who wore suits, the term “white collar crimes.” was born.

Typical white-collar crimes may include:

White-collar crimes usually involve some type of fraud or deception as a means for financial gain. In many cases, these crimes are committed by people in the context of their workplace position who have or can gain access to their company’s bank accounts. These positions might include banking, investment firms, accounting, insurance, or mortgage industries. These types of crimes can be charged at the state or federal level. White-collar crime investigations may involve accounting and bookkeeping forensics.

Many times, in white collar cases the prosecution will be required to prove the defendant did not simply make a mistake. By doing this they will investigate what is known as the mens rea of the defendant or in other words, the mental state of the person charged. The prosecution needs to prove that the defendant acted with bad intent.

White collar crimes can be very serious and in certain cases involve mandatory prison, if the amount involved exceeds $100,000.00. These cases can be time-consuming and expensive to defend because they may require the use of many financial experts, such as tax professionals, forensic accountants, document examiners, and other investigators.

Working in the firearms industry I've always heard different things about the different companies offering legal services in the event of an incident. Now I have first hand experience with what to expect when I need them. I can definitely rest easy knowing I have these guys in my corner. I'm a fairly new customer to them and I will continue to be for many years.

I had a situation of someone making an accusation involving me with " displaying " a hand gun. I called AOR and within minutes a attorney called and I explained to him the situation, he did an excellent job of walking me through on what to say and not do with the police. At the end no arrest was made and the complaint dismissed. The comfort of having quick access to a attorney made all the difference. Extremely glad I joined AOR.

After consideration of all of the offered self defense options out there, AOR is undeniably the best of them. The process was quick and efficent to get signed up with them and their customer service is second to none. I had to deal with Stacy Peterson to get my account in order due to mulitple locations of residence. She was very responsive and thorough. In this day and age it is refreshing to do business with such a company and I hope that I never have to use it.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the thoughtful review, Timothy. We’re honored you chose AOR after carefully evaluating your options. It’s great to hear that Stacy was able to assist you with responsiveness and attention to detail. Providing a smooth experience and strong support is exactly what we strive for. We truly appreciate your trust and your kind words.
