Defenses Against White Collar Crime Charges
Crafting an effective defense against white collar crime charges demands a comprehensive understanding of the law. Our legal team employs a range of defenses tailored to the specifics of each case:
- Insufficient Evidence: Challenging the adequacy and reliability of the prosecution's evidence is a common defense strategy aiming to create reasonable doubt.
- Lack of Intent: Demonstrating a lack of intent to commit the alleged white collar crime is crucial in securing a favorable outcome for our clients.
- Illegal Search and Seizure: If evidence was obtained through an illegal search and seizure, our attorneys vigorously challenge its admissibility in court.
- Coerced Confessions: We scrutinize the circumstances surrounding confessions, ensuring they were not obtained through coercion or violating the defendant's rights.
- Entrapment: When applicable, we assert the defense of entrapment, arguing that law enforcement induced the defendant to commit the crime.
Our proactive defense strategies aim to dismantle the prosecution's case, safeguarding our clients' rights and achieving the best possible outcome.

Thank You Nick, For Justice! The state of Georgia indicted me on two counts of Racketeering that I did not commit. Nick defended me with dedication, caring, and skillfulness in interacting with all parties involved. Against almost insurmountable odds, he was able to get my case dismissed. I will be eternally grateful for all he has done for me. I consider him a superb criminal defense attorney and also call him my friend!- Harley

Good and Knowledgeable I was in a bad situation at one point in my life, the Federal Government brought criminal action against me and I knew i had to be accountable for my action. I was looking for a good lawyer who specialized in criminal lawyer, one who has professional experience in a court room and could give me a good advice on what I needed to do. I interviewed three lawyers and someone told me about Nicholas Lotito, so I meet with him and we talked for hours, I was very impressed with his honesty, I was convinced and had no doubts or uncertainty that he was the person I needed to represent me. At the end of the trial everything worked out good. So thank you Mr. Lotito for the good work you did.- Abe
