Mario D. Zapicchi is licensed in New Jersey and both partners have been practicing since 2010.
White Collar Charges We Handle
White-collar offenses cover a broad range of non-violent financial crimes. Our criminal defense practice in Hamilton Township addresses the charge categories a person is most likely to face under New Jersey law.
Charge types within our criminal defense scope include:
- Embezzlement and theft by failure to make required disposition
- Insurance, bank, mortgage, and tax fraud
- Medicare and Medicaid fraud
- Money laundering
- Identity theft and credit card fraud
- Forgery and counterfeiting
- Bribery and extortion
- Securities fraud and insider trading
- Passing bad checks
Prosecutors build white-collar cases on documents, electronic communications, and financial records. That volume and complexity make early legal intervention critical. We study each matter thoroughly before committing to any strategy, so the approach we develop is grounded in the actual facts of your situation rather than a generic template.
How New Jersey Classifies & Sentences White Collar Crimes
New Jersey uses the term “indictable offense” where other states use “felony.” Most white-collar charges are indictable offenses, and the sentencing tier depends on the dollar amount involved and the nature of the alleged conduct.
In Mercer County, indictable offenses begin at Hamilton Township Municipal Court and transfer to the Mercer County Superior Court in Trenton for grand jury proceedings and trial. A conviction creates a permanent criminal record with collateral consequences: loss of professional licenses, barriers to employment and housing, loss of voting and firearms rights, and potential civil liability. For eligible first-time offenders, New Jersey’s Pretrial Intervention program may offer a path that avoids conviction entirely. Eligibility depends on charge degree and case circumstances.
