blue collar crimesWhat is Blue-Collar Crime?

The designators “blue-collar” and “white-collar” are metaphorical descriptions of the types of jobs individuals have. A white-collar worker may work in an administrative or managerial position, while a blue-collar worker may participate in more manual labor. These designations have also been used to describe types of crimes.

While “Blue-Collar Crime” is not an official legal term, many still use it in contrast with white-collar crime. Blue-collar crimes are typically easier to recognize than white-collar crimes, as white-collar crimes occur with business professionals and government leaders (often involving a type of fraud). Blue-collar crimes tend to be simpler to resolve, as the law that was broken might be more obvious, such as something someone could witness on the street.

Here are some examples of common blue-collar crimes in Florida:

  • Drug crimes such as distribution, manufacturing, and possessing 
  • Theft Crimes such as armed robbery, burglary, or shoplifting
  • Violent crimes such as murder, assault & battery, 
  • Sex Crimes such as sexual assault and prostitution

Our Testimonials

What Our Clients Say

I was referred to Robert by Ruge Law Group when they were actually KRG Law Group. They handled a car accident I was involved in. This was a business debt collection levied against our company by an employee’s debt collector. He and his colleagues handled it flawlessly. He and his staff are beyond impressive and do everything they can to take the cases brought before them. I came back to them with a very big case. I don’t want to dox anyone in the office other than the name on the business. However, they handled it in the most professional, respectful, and caring way possible. J, you did an amazing job and due diligence! Robert, I wanted to personally thank you for representing us in the past and in the future. You and your paralegals are above Top Shelf. This firm is straight Louis XIII.

I hired Drew to assist with a business dispute that I encountered with a fellow member of the Florida Bar. Drew was very professional and was able to negotiate a positive settlement for me.

I hired Mr. Patterson (due to another attorney's referral) to handle what I viewed as a complex case. Because of Mr. Patterson's knowledge of the applicable laws and forethought of opposing counsel's strategy, I'm happy to say the outcome was "excellent." I generally do not post but Mr. Patterson absolutely deserves a well appreciated applause for his legal performance. That said, I also referred him to my sister which also had successful results. Thank you, Mr. Patterson.

As always, you (and BK) are rockstars! I couldn't be more grateful to have you both on my side. I appreciate all that you both do.

You are amazing! Thank you so much! I’ll give you a 5-star review, you’re the best!
