White Collar Crimes

Covington, Louisiana, Credit Card Embezzlement Lawyer

Fraud, embezzlement, and other white collar crimes are beginning to be treated more seriously by police and district attorneys. Non-violent white collar crime such as bank fraud, employee theft, and identity theft costs merchants and individuals billions of dollars every year in the United States. District attorneys are now prosecuting more aggressively, and judges are beginning to slap heavier prison terms and fines on people who are convicted.

I am attorney Ernest Bauer of the Bauer Law Firm, serving the criminal defense needs of Covington, Louisiana, and surrounding North Shore communities. In more than six years of criminal defense practice in this region, I have seen a change in tactics used by prosecutors when they are trying to put a white collar thief behind bars. It often surprises people to learn that many prosecutors and judges are more interested in having you restore the money to the rightful owner than throwing you in an overcrowded prison. Breaking up your family and causing you to lose your job isn't in the best interest of our society.
