White Collar Crime Investigations

Suspect Slight, Deception, and Theft at the Business?

 

Houston area businesses are subject to a number of aspects of white collar crimes, particularly in the corporate world. These crimes are often difficult to detect because the offenders typically have “insider” knowledge of a business’ financial arrangements and practice. With this insider knowledge, the perpetrator(s) can often fly under the radar for years.

We Investigate Embezzlement & Fraud

Embezzlement, fraud, misappropriation of funds and theft of proprietary information are prime examples of white collar criminal activity. These crimes are often covered up with the aid of computers and many times go undetected until it is too late.

It is common to find that the “thieves” have prior criminal history that wasn’t detected prior to being hired.
