Fraud and Financial Crimes Attorney
State or Federal Charges in South Carolina
Charges of fraud and other "white collar" crimes often come at the end of a long investigation. Because the prosecution already has a head start, it is critical to contact an attorney immediately — and to make no statements until you do.

Confronting the Charges
Jim Brown built his reputation as a formidable trial lawyer while serving as a public defender in Richland and Beaufort counties in high-profile cases. In private practice since 2001, he has successfully defended corporate professionals, business owners and others accused of fraud and white collar offenses.
Many white collar prosecutions are based on faulty interpretations of accepted business practices or honest mistakes relating to health care billing, financial transactions, accounting or fiduciary duties. Mr. Brown works to uncover the plausible explanation and prove to prosecutors a lack of intent to defraud.
Our primary concern is to avoid prison if at all possible, as well as criminal fines, civil damages or asset forfeiture. Jim Brown will sit down with you to discuss the pros and cons of the government's case, and advise on the best course of action to protect your freedom, your reputation and all you've worked hard to earn.
