If you get into a really bad auto accident, one of the first things you want to do is call an auto accident attorney to help you get out of the trouble you got into. Whether you’re in Utah or New York, your attorney should be someone that you can trust. You hire an attorney to defend you in your case and you should expect him or her to do their job and do it well. But have you ever thought about the possibility that your regular attorney or your auto accident attorney could commit a crime themselves?
1
Tax Evasion
Just because you’re an attorney, doesn’t mean that you are so different from everyone else. You still have to pay your taxes in full.
2
Mail Fraud
This may take some time for people to catch on, but eventually they do get caught.
3
Sexual Predator
No, they aren’t defending the sexual predator, they are the sexual predator.
4
Security Fraud
Stealing money from stock holders is a great way for an attorney to longer be able to practice law.
5
Wire Fraud
This is interpreted as someone who is, under a false name, wiring money which isn’t theirs. This can happen anywhere with a computer, even in Utah.
6
Hate Crime
Violence is never the answer to any kind of problem. As an attorney you should know that more than anyone.
7
False Filings
This is when someone puts false information on any type of paperwork or reports.
8
Theft
Some attorneys have been known to actually to steal money from their clients.
