White-collar crime includes a wide variety of criminal offenses, including fraud, in all its permutations, bribery, official corruption, embezzlement, smuggling, and identity theft and counterfeiting. These are only the most common offenses. There are others as well.

Because of a change in focus by the U. S. Department of Justice, its various United States Attorneys as well as some big-city state prosecutors, people charged with white-collar crimes have much to worry about. Over the years, investigative agencies have devoted increased manpower and skill, as well as technology, to building white-collar cases, and the legislatures have greatly increased the penalties for white-collar convictions.

When Attorney Jonathan Marks was an Assistant United States Attorney, it was quite common for white-collar defendants to receive lenient sentences, often involving no jail time at all. How things have changed! Now, white-collar criminal convictions often carry harsh prison sentences. Some white-collar crimes, such as Aggravated Identity Theft, carry mandatory minimum prison terms, a punitive feature recently reserved only for crimes involving drugs and firearms.

Since 1978, Jonathan Marks has represented many hundred of people charged with various white collar crimes and has a wealth of knowledge and experience which he brings to the table when representing defendants in white collar cases. His tremendous experience enables him to do what less experienced counsel cannot yet do -- to evaluate the strength of the prosecution's case and promptly devise the best strategy foe addressing the case at an early stage, when all options are available. Frequently, crucial decisions must be made exceedingly quickly, and if they are not important opportunities may be lost.

Just as many law enforcement agents and prosecutors have developed special expertise in investigating and prosecutor white-collar crimes, certain criminal defense lawyers have developed expertise in defending clients charged with such crimes.

Jonathan Marks has enjoyed Martindale-Hubbell's highest rating for competence and integrity (AV) for over thirty years.

He does not charge for an initial consultation in which he can give you a preliminary evaluation of your case and spell out your options.
