White Collar Crimes Including Fraud and Forgery Charges
A large percentage of Mr. Peters practice involves the defence of white collar offences such as:
- Fraud (fraud over and fraud under charges),
- money laundering,
- possession of proceeds of crime,
- forgery, and
- other charges.
Mr. Peters routinely defends former employees who have defrauded their employers. Many of these crimes are fuelled by addictions such as gambling or drugs. When a successful defence is unlikely, Mr. Peters works with psychologists and psychiatrists to place before the court information explaining how the client came to be caught up on circumstances resulting in fraud and the best treatment for the problem that can be facilitated by the Court’s sentence. Such sentences rarely result in jail.
