Michigan White Collar Crimes Attorney

Some crimes take place not on the streets but in offices and boardrooms. White collar crimes are non-violent offenses, often involving allegations of fraud, embezzlement, or financial misconduct. While these cases don’t usually carry the same stigma as violent crimes, the penalties can be severe—leading to prison time, restitution, and permanent damage to your professional reputation.

Attorney Bruce Alan Block has over 30 years of experience defending clients across West Michigan against both felony and misdemeanor charges. He understands how prosecutors approach complex financial investigations and knows how to challenge weak evidence, improper procedures, and overreaching government actions.
