Greenville White Collar Crime Lawyer
Working to Preserve Your Professional Reputation
With increased government regulation of businesses, many matters that were formerly dealt with in civil court or through regulations are now being handled as criminal investigations. White collar crimes are often less visible to the public, and usually involve deceit or fraud. They can happen anywhere from the office of a major corporation to the inside of a residential home.
What Is White Collar Crime?
If you've been accused of a White Collar Crime, you may wonder what that means. White-collar crimes are a nonviolent crime that is committed for financial gain characterized by deceit, concealment, or violation of trust. Individuals who commit these crimes usually do so to obtain or avoid losing money or property either personally or for their business. If you've been accused of white-collar crime, we urge you to reach out to our experienced criminal law attorney to assist with your case.

"I wish more people exhibited the humanity you did"Dear Mr. Hisker, I hope this message reaches you in good health. I am not looking for legal services but wanted to reach out to thank you for what you did for that young gentleman, Brandon, as documented on the A&E show. This is my first time ever doing this but I feel you deserve this message. I wish more people exhibited the humanity you did in your defense of this “gentle giant”. Unfortunately, everyday we witness people acting and reacting to others without empathy and understanding.- Fida K.

"Thankful for good attorneys like yourself"
Dear attorney Hisker, I just watched the A&E show, and I am very thankful for good attorneys like yourself. Our system is good only when there is equality in defense, and you provided a great one. Before hearing the jury’s verdict, I almost assumed they’d say “he admitted he punched him, he’s hurt, therefore he is guilty”. I cheered when he was found not guilty and it gave me a moment of pride in our system. I am also so thankful Brandon didn’t fall into the plea trap where innocent individuals plea to lower charges due to the Pressure and overwhelming understanding that our system is unpredictable. I dream of a world where there are great defense attorneys like you for all defendants, and Where the system isn’t biased for convictions, but bias to obtain justice for all the humans that enter the system. As a Christian, I know just saving one is a blessing—so thanks for saving at least one- With great respect and thanks,
