White-Collar Criminal Defense

White-Collar Criminal Defense Lawyer

Vigorous Representation by a Former Federal Prosecutor

White collar criminal investigations are typically very thorough, lasting months if not years. If federal in nature, surveillance, monitoring of financial transactions, wiretaps, and informants may be used to gather evidence against you. For these reasons, it's essential that you work with an attorney who understands how white collar criminal investigations are handled and carried out before indictments are handed down. If you are under investigation or indicted for fraud or another white-collar crime, not all criminal law attorneys can do you justice. Be sure that your legal counsel is experienced in federal court, which has a separate set of procedures from state court.

A veteran federal trial lawyer, like James T. Zuba of Rockford, Illinois, can make all the difference. You may be able to avoid the trauma and consequences of prosecution, or secure a substantial reduction in your prison sentence in the event of a conviction.

Zuba & Associates prepares thorough, aggressive defenses for any federal charges:

• Embezzlement
• Medicaid fraud
• Wire fraud
• Internet fraud
• Investment fraud
• Mortgage fraud
• Tax fraud
• Workers' Compensation fraud
• Government contract fraud
• Mail fraud
• Credit card fraud / identity theft
• Bank fraud

How Our Criminal Defense Lawyer Can Help
The mere knowledge that you are the target or subject of a federal investigation is stressful and frightening. All aspects of your life — your freedom, finances, family, and professional reputation — are affected. Fighting these charges requires immense resources on your part, while the government has few limits in this regard.

Based in Rockford, Illinois, fraud attorney James Zuba is a proven litigator in the federal court arena. He served twelve years as an Assistant United States Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois — prosecuting many of the same offenses his latter-day clients are accused of. He was recognized by then-U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno for his litigation skills and results at trial, and turns that same skill set to your favor in aggressively attacking the government's case.

Mr. Zuba can identify the strengths and weaknesses of the prosecution's case, and argue whether charges should even be brought. If the indictment is obtained, he excels in plea negotiations to minimize the impact of a compelling case against you. And he has no fear of going to trial when the alternative is unacceptable.

Making the Prosecution Prove Its Case at Trial
White-collar criminal charges hinge on complicated financial matters and gray areas such as criminal intent. Zuba & Associates is effective at tracing the paper trail and showing where the prosecution failed to connect the dots. James Zuba knows the federal statutes, discovery rules, and procedures. He responds to arguments, analyzes evidence, and presents his client's case to the jury in the most favorable light.
