White collar charges like fraud, embezzlement, and identity theft are complex—and the consequences are serious. Perry & Waters, LLP brings detailed investigation, discretion, and strategic courtroom experience to every white collar defense case we handle.

White Collar Defense in Vance & Granville Counties

Financial crime allegations often come with large amounts of evidence—emails, documents, financial records—and potentially years of prison time. We understand both the legal and technical dimensions of these cases, and we act fast to build your defense.

  • Do I have to speak to investigators if I’m accused of fraud?

    No. Never speak to law enforcement or investigators without a lawyer. Contact us immediately.

  • Can white collar cases lead to jail in NC?

    Yes. Many are felonies with prison exposure, but alternative sentencing is often possible with proper defense.

  • What is the statute of limitations for fraud in North Carolina?

    Varies by charge—typically 2–5 years. However, if federal charges are involved, limitations and penalties can increase.

  • Will this be a state or federal case?

    Some white collar crimes fall under federal jurisdiction. We assess where and how the case is being charged and respond accordingly.
