Orange County Conspiracy Defense Attorney

Conspiracy and White Collar Crimes

Conspiracy is a criminal offense wherein two or more individuals conspire to commit a crime of some kind. For example, if Bob and Joe were to agree to embezzle money from the company they both worked at, and they developed a plan to carry out this act, that would constitute conspiracy. It does not necessarily matter whether Bob and Joe actually were successful in carrying out the plan, as conspiracy need only involve an agreement and some action toward carrying out the agreed upon crime. Even if only one member of the conspiracy carries out the act, all parties involved may be in danger of facing conspiracy charges. In this example, Bob and Joe may therefore face conspiracy and embezzlement charges and the penalties that may be imposed upon a conviction for both of these. Conspiring to commit a crime and committing the crime itself are considered two separate criminal offenses in the eyes of the law.
