If you are under investigation or have been charged with a white collar crime, contact the Law Offices of Sean Buckley. With over 25 years of experience defending clients in high-stakes federal criminal cases, I know how to challenge the government’s case and fight for your freedom.

White collar crime investigations are among the most complex and aggressive cases prosecuted in the federal system. Unlike street crimes, these cases often unfold quietly—through subpoenas, audits, search warrants, and federal agents asking “informal” questions—long before formal charges are filed. If you or your business is facing allegations of fraud, conspiracy, money laundering, health care fraud, or other white collar offenses, early, experienced federal criminal defense representation is critical.

What Is Considered a White Collar Crime?

White collar crimes typically involve allegations of financial misconduct, deception, or abuse of trust. Common federal white collar charges include:

• Health care fraud (Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE)

• Wire fraud and mail fraud

• Bank fraud and financial institution fraud

• Money laundering

• Tax fraud and tax evasion

• Securities and investment fraud

• Conspiracy under federal law

• False statements to federal agents

  
  

These cases are usually prosecuted by the U.S. Department of Justice and investigated by agencies such as the FBI, IRS-CI, HHS-OIG, DEA, and other federal task forces.

Why White Collar Cases Are Different

Federal white collar cases are document-intensive, expert-driven, and strategically complex. Prosecutors often rely on:

• Years of financial records

• Cooperating witnesses

• Electronic communications (emails, texts, cloud data)

• Sophisticated accounting analyses

• Parallel civil and administrative investigations

  
  

A lawyer without deep federal experience can easily miss early opportunities to limit exposure—or worse, unintentionally make matters worse.

Federal Experience Matters

Sean Buckley brings more than 25 years of criminal defense experience to white collar and federal cases, including decades of courtroom litigation against the federal government. Notably, I serve annually as Lead Attorney Editor of O’Connor’s Federal Criminal Rules & Codes—a nationally respected publication relied upon by federal judges, prosecutors, and defense attorneys across the United States. This distinction reflects a level of federal procedural mastery that very few defense lawyers in Mississippi—or nationwide—can claim. That expertise directly benefits clients facing high-stakes federal prosecutions.

A Proven Focus on Health Care Fraud Defense

The Law Offices of Sean Buckley PLLC is widely recognized for its deep experience in health care fraud defense, including cases involving:

• TRICARE fraud allegations

• Medicare and Medicaid billing investigations

• Kickback and Stark Law violations

• False Claims Act exposure

• Parallel criminal, civil, and licensing actions

  
  

Health care fraud cases often place not only freedom at risk but also professional licenses, livelihoods, and entire practices. These cases demand a defense strategy that is both legally sophisticated and strategically precise.
