Top White Collar Crime Attorney Champaign, Illinois

Attorney Baku N. Patel is a former federal prosecutor for the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), where he handled consumer fraud and antitrust cases. He has been retained to handle complex federal criminal cases such as defending corporate directors in an environmental pollution case, litigating a case that involved multimillion-dollar security fraud charges and a very sophisticated real estate fraud case involving millions of dollars of property.

When working on white collar crime defense plans, Attorney Patel draws upon these experiences to favorably resolve even the most difficult cases. Many of the alleged victims of white collar crimes simply want to get their money back – an outcome that may not be helped if the defendant faces a criminal trial. For this reason, many white collar criminal cases can be resolved by negotiating restitution. However, if the other side is unreasonable, we are willing and able to defend you at trial.
