White Collar Crime Attorney in Jacksonville

Facing Financial Crime Allegations? Put a Former Marine Judge Advocate on Your Side

White collar allegations often emerge through financial records, business transactions, electronic communications, subpoenas, or investigator contact long before an arrest. We represent clients facing North Carolina felony and misdemeanor allegations, including matters involving alleged fraud, embezzlement, forgery, identity theft, financial transaction offenses, and money laundering.

The conduct, available records, alleged intent, amount at issue, and prosecuting authority can shape every stage of a case. As a white collar crime attorney in Jacksonville, we can become involved during an investigation and continue through negotiations, pretrial litigation, and trial.

How to Respond to an Investigator or Subpoena

A subpoena, target letter, interview request, search warrant, or contact from investigators doesn’t establish guilt, but it may require a prompt response. The appropriate course depends on whether investigators are requesting a voluntary interview, compelling document production, executing a search, or pursuing a filed criminal charge.

Don’t destroy, edit, conceal, or alter potentially relevant financial or electronic records. Before making substantive statements or producing documents, seek legal advice about the request, applicable deadlines, and your rights. Information that appears harmless in isolation may take on a different meaning when examined alongside transaction histories, communications, contracts, and witness accounts.

Criminal Defense Informed by Both Sides of the Courtroom

Attorney Aden Wilkie is a former Marine judge advocate with experience on both the prosecution and defense sides of the courtroom. That background informs how we assess investigative theories, examine the government’s evidence, and prepare for disputed proceedings. Founded in 2020, Wilkie Law Group represents civilian and military clients facing serious criminal allegations throughout North Carolina.

We take the time to understand the transactions, relationships, responsibilities, and records behind an accusation. Our case assessment addresses immediate procedural choices as well as possible effects on liberty, employment, finances, professional standing, and reputation.

Building a Defense From Records, Evidence, & Intent

Financial crime defense often requires a close examination of far more than the charging document. We can conduct an independent investigation, gather evidence, analyze the prosecution’s case, identify weaknesses, negotiate potential resolutions, file appropriate motions, and prepare for trial.

Our review may address:

• Intent: Whether the evidence supports an allegation of deliberate deception or unlawful financial conduct.
• Authorization: Whether access to property, accounts, information, or transactions was permitted.
• Attribution: Whether particular communications, records, or transactions can be connected to the accused person.
• Financial records: Whether summaries accurately reflect accounting documents, banking activity, contracts, and transaction histories.
• Evidence collection: Whether searches, seizures, interviews, and document demands followed applicable legal requirements.

A defense plan may change as investigators disclose materials, witnesses provide information, or prosecutors make charging decisions. We prepare each case according to its evidence and procedural posture, not assumptions based on the name of the alleged offense.
