Facing Economic Crime Accusations

White-collar crimes are a general category for economic crimes, typically those that occur in the workplace on in commercial relationships such as between a seller and purchaser of goods or services. Among the most common white-collar crimes charged in New Jersey are:

• Embezzlement
• Theft
• Theft of services
• Theft from the office
• Fraud
• Extortion

The laws governing white-collar crimes are complex, and a detailed examination of the evidence is necessary in order to mount an effective criminal defense. Attorney Benjamin Kelsen has the experience to skillfully and successfully handle your case.

Helping You With Criminal Check-Bouncing Claims

One thing many people do not realize is that the common practice of writing post-dated checks is technically illegal in New Jersey. If you give someone a postdated check as payment for goods or services, and that check bounces, you can be charged with a crime, even if the person to whom you gave the check agreed to accept it.

Depending on the details of your check-bouncing case, you may be facing charges of check fraud, theft and/or theft of services. We can help you respond to these charges aggressively, arguing against the imposition of criminal penalties.

Taking Consequences Seriously
