DEFENDING AGAINST WHITE COLLAR CRIME CHARGES IN SHELBY COUNTY

At Jaffe, Hanle. Whisonant & Knight, P.C., our criminal defense attorneys know the stakes for those facing white collar crime charges.

Charges involving more than $2,500 worth of property or records are considered Class B felonies in Alabama, punishable by up to 20 years in prison plus fines and restitution. Those accused often face federal charges as well, which can mean fines of up to $250,000 along with jail time.
