White Collar Crime: Fraud and Theft Defence
If you have been charged with theft, fraud or any other so-called white collar crime, it is imperative that the lawyer you choose to defend you has the experience required for success.
I am Michael R. Shapray, B.A., a criminal defence lawyer with a long record of success defending clients in a wide range of white collar crimes, including:
- Fraud, from credit card fraud to securities fraud
- Theft, including employee theft and identity theft
- Forgery
- Internet crime
- Possession of counterfeit documents
- Money laundering
- Benefiting from the proceeds of a crime
- Smuggling
- Conspiracy
- Breach of trust
In complex financial issues, it takes a sophisticated defence lawyer to analyze the evidence. I will follow the paper trail wherever it leads. In some cases, I will retain forensic accountants or other relevant professionals to assist me.
Don't Let Yourself Become a Scape Goat
In cases involving significant loss of funds or complex financial transactions, many people are looking for someone to blame. I understand the difference between an honest mistake and a criminal act. I will not allow my client to unjustifiably take the blame.
White collar crimes often involve long periods of investigation. Please do not speak to authorities without a lawyer present to represent you. Contact me by e-mail or call 604-725-4300 to arrange a free and confidential consultation about your case.
I maintain offices in Vancouver and Surrey, British Columbia, for your convenience.
