White Collar

White Collar is the generic term for all types of document-intensive financial crimes.White Collar offenses can be among the most complicated criminal cases to defend. Usually involving financial transactions, a white collar offense is often won or lost on the basis of the state of the document trail.  In defending a White Collar case, the experienced attorney will spend hundreds of hours poring over piles of documents to make sense of the prosecution’s case against an accused.  Organization, dedication, and an eye for detail are the hallmarks of a successful White Collar defense.

Shane Phelps, a board certified criminal law specialist, has 24 years’ experience in prosecuting and defending criminal cases in Texas.  As the Chief of the Texas Attorney General’s Prosecutor Assistance and Special Investigations Division, Phelps was called upon by elected prosecutors, judges, and law enforcement officials from all over the State of Texas to handle high-profile, complicated criminal prosecutions, often involving public officials.  As First Assistant District Attorney in the Brazos County District Attorney’s Office, Phelps handled the majority of the major White Collar cases, often spending more than a year gathering and making sense out of thousands of documents, bank statements, loan documents, medical billing records, tax documents and other financial records.
