White Collar Crime Defense in Raleigh, N.C.

A savvy attorney for a complex area of criminal law

Defense of white collar crimes requires an understanding of complex financial laws and an ability to sift through multiple witness accounts, extensive financial documentation, expert reports and applicable statutes, regulations and case law.

As a former federal prosecutor and a North Carolina criminal defense lawyer for 31 years, Board-Certified Criminal Law Specialist Thomas C. Manning has accumulated extensive knowledge and front-line experience in white collar criminal cases and investigations in both state and federal courts. He is not daunted by complex cases — he has prosecuted and defended numerous cases involving lengthy grand-jury investigations, extensive witness lists and voluminous financial and investigative paperwork. He has successfully managed defense efforts in long-term federal and state investigations, with success in preventing prosecution of his clients in many cases, or turning investigations away from his clients. His successes in the white collar defense arena are wide-ranging and include obtaining acquittals, negotiating plea bargains to lesser charges and reduced punishment, negotiating deferred prosecution agreements, and obtaining reversal of clients’ convictions in appellate courts.

A master at trial strategy

Clients benefit from Attorney Manning’s experience because he understands how to negotiate with investigators and prosecutors and has often obtained outcomes where clients were not charged after extensive investigation. Manning has won acquittals in lengthy trials, and has worked cases where charges were not filed. 

Attorney Manning tailors a defense appropriate to the client’s priorities then pursues that strategy with cunning and skill.
