Felonies Misdemeanors White-Collar Crime and Investigations The Federal and New York State Criminal Law divides crimes into two general categories: misdemeanors and felonies. Misdemeanors usually have a one-year maximum jail sentence. Felonies are deemed much more serious than misdemeanors, hence they have much harsher jail sentences, generally, more than one year of jail time. If you are convicted of any crime, you may be sentenced to fines, community service, imprisonment, or other penal discipline. Licenses and employment of several types may be revoked or forfeited.

Sentencing Guidelines The U.S. Sentencing Guidelines have become increasingly complex. The Guidelines Manual has grown to over a thousand pages covering nearly 150 offense categories, with scores of adjustments, offender characteristics, and bases for upward and downward departure. Our attorneys has an extraordinary depth and breadth of experience and expertise in representing individual and corporate clients at the sentencing stage. They have handled federal sentencing proceedings involving Guidelines for mail and wire fraud, bank fraud, securities fraud, honest services fraud, ERISA fraud, tax crimes, embezzlement, theft, extortion, bribery, commercial bribery, offering or receiving gratuities, money laundering, environmental crimes, intellectual property including counterfeiting offenses, violations of food, drug, and medical device laws, immigration and naturalization offenses, offenses involving individual rights including involuntary servitude, obstruction of justice, perjury, contempt, homicide, and conspiracy. The Guidelines sentences can be quite harsh, attorneys skilled in shaping creative ways to achieve the most lenient sentence possible.-by obtaining downward departure. Our attorneys seek straight probation, home detention, or community confinement in lieu of lengthy prison terms.

... a criminal investigation is not an event that most business people consider possible. Yet, the proliferation of complex law and regulation, especially at the federal level, has vastly increased the vulnerability of many individuals and businesses to prosecution. Strict reporting requirements and other statutorily-mandated practices involving taxation, healthcare, the environment, labor law, securities and government contracting all have significant civil and criminal penalties for noncompliance. As former federal criminal investigators, we understand the laws, the investigative practices and standards of proof applicable in prosecution cases. Because of our experience on both prosecution and defense, we can objectively evaluate the facts and theory of proof in order to assess potential exposure. We can also assist defense counsel in the discovery of other facts not considered by the government but which nonetheless might be crucial to the development of an effective defense strategy. We have assisted clients and their counsel in many diverse types of matters including:

NATIONAL LEVEL EXPERTISE
In the wake of recent headline-grabbing corporate scandals, executives across the country have become acutely aware of the perilous position in which errant business practices can put their organizations — and themselves. Unfortunately, businesses are discovering that business practices, once routine and accepted, are now becoming the targets of federal criminal prosecutions. To make things worse, new legislation, including the recently enacted Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and expanding judicial interpretations, have both criminalized conduct previously believed legal and greatly increased the criminal penalties for such conduct. Furthermore, businesses and executives who find themselves in a web of criminal charges discover that the charges are only part of the story; they also face potentially severe restitution orders and other financial penalties. Companies desiring to protect themselves from these horrors face difficult and complex problems, and require the assistance of counsel fully experienced in all areas of federal white collar crime.

We have also represented in cases of non-compliance with various relevant regulatory schemes. The law governing white-collar crime and fraud issues is highly complex and changes rapidly. Piecemeal legislation has created federal, state and local governmental agencies, each with its own set of rules and investigative powers. In addition, legislation has broadened the investigative powers of traditional federal, state and local law enforcement agencies. Some of these powers overlap but there are critical differences between them.

Prison time is likely for Erpenbeck
By Don Baker
Post staff reporter
Former home builder Bill Erpenbeck will likely go to jail, even if he negotiates a plea agreement with the federal government. A source familiar with the talks between prosecutors and Erpenbeck's attorney said prosecutors are demanding that Erpenbeck serve prison time, with the only item up for negotiation how much time he'll serve. The source spoke on condition of anonymity. Glenn Whitaker, the Cincinnati criminal defense attorney representing Erpenbeck in the federal investigation, said Wednesday he hasn't discussed specifics about any possible plea deal with the government yet, and that he hasn't talked to Erpenbeck about specifics such as how much time behind bars he might be willing to accept. Whitaker has said he is negotiating an agreement with the government that likely would have Erpenbeck plead guilty to some crime. Exactly what charge he'd face is part of the negotiation, although it would likely be some type of fraud.

Summary of the presentation "WHITE COLLAR CRIME AWARENESS FOR SENIOR CITIZENS" at the Spring General Meeting, April 17, 1997
TOPIC:
DIRECTED AT SENIOR CITIZENS AND RETIREES
Presented by the Morris County Prosecutor's Office:
Detective Sergeant Paul Kalleberg
Detective Carol Rivenburg
CRIMES AGAINST SENIORS
Elderly people may be targeted because they frequently live alone. They are believed to have a "nest egg", and are often lonely and anxious to have someone to talk to. They may also be more trusting, thinking of the way things were in years gone by. Common types of crimes against the elderly are: Contractor/home repair scams -repair work to the home that is unnecessary, overpriced, or, when work is actually done, incomplete or shoddy. Unscrupulous contractors may also create the damage to the home (such as pulling off roof shingles) and then approach the homeowner with the damage they have "found." Telemarketing scams -telephone solicitations offering "free vacations" and other rewards in exchange for a credit card number or a donation to what may purport to be a charitable organization. Oftentimes these are boiler room operations and the donation to named beneficiary is a falsehood or misrepresentation. This is frequently done utilizing references to policeorganizations. The new trend is to make reference to a current situation, such as collections for Operation Desert Storm when it was occurring. Another problem becoming prominent is the changing of long distance phone carriers without one's authorization or by deceptive means, including forgery of the contract.

Mystery, Mayhem and Maniacal Humor
There are certain groups in our society that have a reputation for being more law-abiding than others. Statistics will confirm that some groups of people do not commit as many crimes as others. There is, however, a reason for these statistical miscalculations and for the public willingness to attribute to some groups high quotients of honesty. Some professionals are in a position to commit crimes that cannot be detected without more effort than law enforcement officials are willing to spend.
Myths That Cause Crime
Myth : There is a common belief shared by the general public and criminal-justice personnel that white-collar crime is only economic. That is, "crime in the suites" involves money being taken from a group rather than some physical attack on a victim. The treatment of white-collar crime as economic, nonviolent crime is clearly evidenced in statements by high Reagan administration officials and, more recently, by appointees of Pres. George Bush, who define white-collar crime and violent crime as two mutually exclusive behaviors.

Embezzlement
The illegal transfer of money or property that, although possessed legally by the embezzler, is diverted to the embezzler personally by his or her fraudulent action. For example, an employee would embezzle money from the employer or a public officer could embezzle money received during the course of their public duties and secretly convert it to their personal use. Perjury is the crime of intentionally lying after being duly sworn (to tell the truth) by a notary public, court clerk or other official. This false statement may be made in testimony in court, administrative hearings, depositions, answers to interrogatories, as well as by signing or acknowledging a written legal document (such as affidavit, declaration under penalty of perjury, deed, license application, tax return) known to contain false information. Although it is a crime, prosecutions for perjury are rare, because a defendant will argue he/she merely made a mistake or misunderstood. Theft is the generic term for all crimes in which a person intentionally and fraudulently takes personal property of another without permission or consent and with the intent to convert it to the taker's use (including potential sale). In many states, if the value of the property taken is low (for example, less than $500) the crime is "petty theft," but it is "grand theft" for larger amounts, designated misdemeanor or felony, respectively. Theft is synonymous with "larceny." Although robbery (taking by force), burglary (taken by entering unlawfully) and embezzlement (stealing from an employer) are all commonly thought of as theft, they are distinguished by the means and methods used and are separately designated as those types of crimes in criminal charges and statutory punishments.
