We are uniquely qualified to handle the defense of white collar crime.
As Attorney Robert Eckard is a former State Prosecutor and is a Board Certified expert in Business Litigation by the Florida Bar.
In today’s business environment, business and crime often intersect. A legitimate business decision should not result in a criminal indictment. That’s why we at the Law Office of Robert Eckard make it our mission to help clients faced with white collar crimes.
White collar crimes are illegal acts characterized by deception and fraud committed by professionals, like businessmen and government officials or employees. The main elements of white collar crimes are the deceit and concealment involved in pulling it off.
There should also be a violation of trust involved but without the presence of threat or physical violence.
There are many examples of white collar crime. It could be an office secretary diverting company funds into their private accounts, or it could be a local government official making under-the-table deals to get more money out of an office transaction. It can also be as straightforward as taking a bribe, such as money or property, in exchange for services.
Here’s a list of white collar crimes:
White collar crime punishments can vary depending on the severity of the crime. This may include fines and probation, and/or may even include jail sentences.
Typically, victims of white collar crimes can be awarded restitution or compensation for losses incurred because of the crime.

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!
