Norfolk White Collar Crime Lawyers
What are the White Collar Crimes?
White collar crimes involve deceit, concealment, or violation of trust in order to make a profit. Many people assume these types of crimes are only committed by the wealthy and industry leaders; however, middle class folks regularly find themselves facing such charges.

What are the Penalties for White Collar Crimes in Virginia?
Since the federal government commonly regulates and prosecutes white collar crimes, a conviction in federal court can lead to imprisonment, fines, restitution, forfeitures, and other serious consequences. In addition, if at least one victim suffered substantial financial harm, then a conviction will result in a longer prison sentence. On the other hand, if the defendant takes responsibility for the crime and aids the federal investigation, the penalties can be lessened.

I Would Have to Say, You've Outdone Yourself
"- Lawrence C.Mr. Protogyrou,
I would have to say that you have outdone yourself, and I’m grateful to you. By you writing my prosecutor, Mrs. Laura Tayman, about me and telling her of my assistance in the Michael Jordan trial, and assisting the prosecutor Mr. Jim Metcalfe, made me feel for me receiving my motion for my rule 350.
Mr. Protogyrou, by you being close to this institution, or prison, everyone has kept their eyes and ears on every lawyer from Norfolk to Richmond. Whenever your name is mentioned, the inmates here already know that you will fight for your clients, and in most of your cases that went to trial, you were victorious. I do believe that you will do the same for me." -
