FBI and White Collar Crime in South Carolina
The Federal Bureau of Investigation has several programs in South Carolina that they have instituted to combat white collar crime. Their white collar crime program covers a variety of related federal offenses.
The following are examples of what is covered by the White Collare Crime Program:
Insurance Fraud
Money Laundering (Usually Related to Drugs)
Financial Institution Fraud (FIF, i.e. Bank Fraud)
Telemarketing Fraud (Especially against Seniors)
Environmental Crimes (Dumping and Polution)
Public Corruption (Bribes)
Health Care Fraud (Medicare Fraud)(Medical Over Billing)
Bankruptcy Crimes (Usually Business Related)
Securities Fraud (Mortgage Fraud could be included here)
These criminal investigations in South Carolina are prosecuted by the United States Attorney in South Carolina. Walter Wilkins is the current United States Attorney in South Carolina. There is also a Federal Public Defender in South Carolina. Parks Smalls is the Federal Defender for South Carolina. The FBI has field offices in most of the cities in South Carolina. The FBI has offices in Myrtle Beach, Florence, Charleston, Columbia (Main Office), Greenville, Aiken and several other smaller cities in South Carolina.
Most of the high profile cases are listed on the FBI's website and the United States Attorney website for South Carolina. These press releases give the public a view as to what is being investigated and prosecuted by the government. All of these listed investigations have been indicted by the government. Defendants are indicted in the region in which the government feels the crime has been committed. Our office defends federal indictments all across the country. Defending a federal indictment takes experience, hard work and a willingness to communicate with a client about the government and its policies on white collar crime. A good Federal Defense Attorney in Columbia can help minimize your exposure to a federal indictment.
We have Columbia defense attorneys that are willing to help defend any federal indictment. We also handle appeals from the federal courts. Our Charleston defense attorneys handle indictments in Hilton Head and Beaufort. We also defend criminal cases in Georgetown and Surfside Beach.
