Jacksonville White Collar Crime Defense Attorney
Legal Advocacy for White Collar Crime Cases
White collar crimes are offenses typically committed by individuals in the business world who, due to their job positions, have the opportunity to commit illegal acts. These offenses often involve financial transactions where trust is breached, leading to financial harm to businesses or individuals.
Distinct from “blue collar” crimes, which are often direct and violent, white collar crimes are characteristically indirect, nonviolent, financially motivated, and often require a level of sophistication and knowledge. They are often committed by individuals at executive levels in an organization, such as managers, executives, and accountants, or by investment counselors, politicians, and other professionals.
White collar crimes are particularly complex due to the sophisticated methods used to commit them. They often involve intricate monetary transactions, complex legal entities, and advanced technology.
From defrauding a financial institution to schemes to defraud to employee theft, the Law Office of Russell B. McCormick, PA, has successfully represented dozens of clients facing lengthy prison sentences and achieved results from dismissal to probationary sentences. We serve clients in Jacksonville and throughout the surrounding counties of Nassau, St. Johns, Clay, and Baker.

Understanding White Collar Crimes in Florida
The Florida legislature has taken a firm stance on white collar offenses by making many offenses in this category punishable by up to 15 years in prison. A component that many white collar crime attorneys overlook is that for the State to succeed with this type of charge, they must be able to prove that the fraud was intentional. Understanding this distinction can be critical to building an effective defense strategy.

Called the McCormick office in trouble, with my freedom on the line. Russell answered the phone himself and confirmed he took on my type of cases. He took my information down and we scheduled a consultation. When I arrived for my consultation, he already had the information about my case,and a plan to come to my defense, already in tow! That made me confident in hiring Russell. However, my case had gotten thrown out (unbeknownst to me) and even though I paid the retainers fee, he sent me a refund.In reality he could have kept it. That right there is why he'll forever be my go to attorney if I needed one. Ready to defend and honest when need be. I appreciate him and Ms Dorothy and highly recommend. Thanks again!- Jones
