Our Track Record Speaks For Itself

White-Collar Criminal Defense Cannot Be Effectively Accomplished By Just Any Lawyer

At Spencer & Associates, our entire practice is focused exclusively on white-collar criminal defense. It is all we do – and we do it well. White-collar crimes often involve complex forensic accounting, detailed reviews of years’ worth of tax returns, and a nuanced understanding of industries like finance and securities. When the inner workings of the stock market or corporate structures become the foundation of a case, we bring the insight and experience needed to navigate them effectively.

Maintaining a knowledge of these complexities isn’t just part of the job – it is the job.

Rather than focusing on broad criminal defense matters, we have chosen to work exclusively in the selective field of federal white-collar criminal defense. Not every law firm is equipped to take on these highly complex and technical cases, and we have developed a strong reputation as being among the best law firms for white-collar criminal defense in Texas.

We take measures to protect not only your freedom, but your reputation and future career prospects.

Frequently Asked Questions

A: Insider trading is prosecuted federally, even in Texas. Penalties can include millions of dollars in fines and up to 20 years in prison. Civil penalties may also occur. Each outcome depends on the details of the offense and whether or not the case is criminal or civil.

A: Yes, both state and federal fraud charges in Texas can result in prison time. Sentences depend on the type and amount of fraud. Serious cases often carry multi-year prison terms, especially if federal charges like mail or wire fraud are involved.

A: Legal fees vary depending on the complexity of the case and how far it progresses. Skilled white collar defense may cost more, especially if your case involves forensic accounting or trial.

A: You should never respond to a target letter without a lawyer’s oversight. A target letter means you’re under federal investigation and could be indicted. Responding improperly can put you at serious legal risk, which is why you should speak with a white-collar defense attorney immediately to develop a viable strategy.

A: Pleading the Fifth means you are invoking your constitutional right to remain silent and avoid self-incrimination. It is often used during investigations or testimonies to prevent giving answers that could be used in the criminal case against you.
