Beverly Hills White Collar Defense Lawyer

Many white collar crimes are economic theft crimes, under California law these are categorized into two levels of offenses: petty theft and grand theft. The determinative factor in this classification is the amount of money or the value of property taken. When the value of property is under $400, this is petty theft. When the value of property or money taken is over $400, this is grand theft and increased penalties will apply.

Grand Theft vs. Petty Theft & White Collar Crimes

A number of white collar offenses are actually theft crimes which are carried out without the use of physical violence or threats and instead involve clandestine plans, complex financial transactions and schemes to defraud. Embezzlement, credit card fraud, internet fraud, identity theft, health care fraud and computer crimes are all white collar offenses which involve theft - and therefore the potential of classification as petty theft or grand theft.
