Former Assistant Attorney General experience defending Federal and State white collar matters.
Attorney Gregory “Kaiser” Wilhelm, Esq., a former Public Defender and Assistant Attorney General, is prepared to provide sophisticated and thorough defense of your rights regarding Federal and/or State White Collar issues and/or pending charges.
Many offenses that are considered white collar crimes are simply matters of financial, ethical, or regulatory misunderstanding. Many of our clients have never had a single arrest in their lives. We will work to prove that you did not intend to commit criminal activity but rather were unaware of the laws that were being violated.
In many of these cases, the matter at hand is on a civil border with the prosecution simply acting as a collection agency of sorts. It is not uncommon for the prosecution to attempt to bring charges simply because someone has lost money in a deal — whether the business arrangement was legal or not.
We fight to defend your rights in these cases, protecting you from undue criminal charges for civil matters. The prosecution must prove criminal intent in the matter. We work to show that you, in fact, did not intend to commit any form of criminal behavior.
We provide each client a free initial consultation to fully understand the circumstances framing the matter. We are committed to providing answers and information readily throughout the course of the case.
Because of Attorney Wilhelm’s prior role as Assistant Attorney General in the Complex Civil Litigation Division — where he handled fraudulent activities against Florida consumers including some of the largest and most insidious health care provider frauds — we bring an unusual depth of understanding to these cases. We know how the prosecution builds them. We know where they are strong. And we know where they can be taken apart.
White collar matters often begin quietly — a subpoena, a records request, a call from an investigator — long before any formal charge is filed. The time to engage counsel is at the beginning of that process, not after an indictment has been returned.
If you have been contacted regarding a white collar matter — or if you have reason to believe you may be — call 850-910-2255 immediately for a free, confidential consultation.
