Forensics and White-Collar Criminal Defense Services

White-collar crime in both for-profit and not-for-profit businesses continues to increase, costing businesses billions of dollars each year. The successful investigation of any white-collar crime requires an in-depth understanding of complex accounting, tax and financial issues.
