Don't Give Up Hope
Just because you or your loved one has been charged with a white-collar crime does not mean that the prosecution can prove their case. Do not give up and make a guilty plea just because you have been charged!
The line between criminal and civil matters is blurring. Many criminal cases have a high stakes civil lawsuit attached to them. The civil division of Wigell & Associates employs the same aggressive tactics as our Criminal Defense Team. Our team of experienced criminal defense lawyers will tell you what to expect in both the criminal and civil cases and will help you and your family make informed decisions.
Firm founder Raymond Wigell has a post-doctoral degree in tax, which is of particular importance to white collar, complex business, and financial crimes. We use forensic accountants to analyze financials, allowing, under some circumstances, to argue that the alleged criminal actions were an anomaly or just a different way of interpreting data.
Our white-collar crime attorneys will fight vigorously not only to help you avoid jail time, but to avoid any conviction that could result in a black mark on your future. As attorneys, we represent you, we do not judge you. The only things we care about are you and the law. We often try cases in the Northern District of Indiana and the Northern District of Illinois, but have the capability to handle cases nationwide.
