White collar crimes cover a broad range of non-violent offenses typically involving deceit or financial manipulation. Our firm has extensive experience defending clients in Fairfield County against the following charges:


  • Embezzlement: Embezzlement involves the unauthorized theft or misuse of assets or funds by someone trusted to manage them. Convictions can result in jail time, restitution, and severe financial penalties. Attorney Kratter rigorously examines the evidence and seeks to challenge any weak points in the prosecution’s case.

Penalties can include jail time and substantial fines. We challenge these charges by analyzing evidence and scrutinizing police procedures.

Our Approach to Defending White Collar Crimes

Meticulous Investigation and Strategic Defense

White collar crime cases require careful analysis of complex evidence, including financial records, digital communications, and procedural documentation. At the Law Offices of Mark M. Kratter, LLC, we take a strategic, meticulous approach to each case, offering a defense tailored to the unique circumstances of your situation. Our process includes:


  • Detailed Case Review: We thoroughly investigate all aspects of your case, from the initial charges to the methods used by law enforcement during the investigation. If evidence was improperly obtained or procedural errors were made, we move to have such evidence suppressed.
  • Exploring Diversionary Programs: For first-time offenders, Connecticut offers options like Accelerated Rehabilitation, which can result in dismissed charges upon completion. When possible, we advocate for these programs to keep clients out of jail and off the public record.
  • Negotiation and Trial Readiness: Attorney Kratter is an experienced negotiator who often secures reduced charges and alternative sentencing. If your case goes to trial, he is prepared to present an aggressive defense based on detailed preparation, evidence analysis, and courtroom skill.
