HOUSTON LAWYER FOR FRAUD

“White Collar Crimes” can refer to any number of potential criminal offenses. Generally, though, it refers to workplace offenses that often involve a breach of fiduciary trust. This can be something as simple as an accusation that an employee has comitted a theft of his or her employer’s merchandise, inventory, or property. Or, the accusation can be far more complex, involving allegations ranging from simple mail fraud to large scale ponzi schemes.

Rick Oliver Attorney at Law has a Master’s degree in Accounting. He worked in audit and public accounting for nearly five years before deciding to pursue a career in the law. Rick has an advantage over most of his peers who handle similar types of offenses: he understands the language. While many lawyers would need to expend hours trying to understand what is meant by the term “contra-account,” Rick would simply need to understand what was alleged to have occurred within that account. 

Some common white collar criminal offenses include:

  1. Consumer Fraud
  2. Credit Card Fraud
  3. Insurance Fraud
  4. Identity Theft
  5. Bank Fraud
  6. Tax Fraud
  7. Bad checks

Rick Oliver Law Firm

 Rick was licensed to practice law in the state of Texas in 2007 and began his solo practice on June 1, 2008. Rick did not come from a family of wealth or of lawyers. When he started, he did not know a single attorney–let alone a criminal defense attorney–in the City of Houston. He built the foundation of a successful practice with little more than a code book and a can-do attitude. 

Why Choose Our Firm

Because Competence Means Freedom

Experience

In 2016, less than seven years after becoming licensed, Rick was certified by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization in his practice area of Criminal Law. His practice is almost entirely dedicated to criminal trial and appellate law. He writes extensively and has been published in various forums across the state.

Credentials

Out of 70,000 attorneys in the State of Texas, less than 7,000 are board certified. The Texas Bar has estimated that only 10 percent of all Texas Bar members achieve this important distinction. But, lawyers can seek board certification in a number of different practice areas. As of 2016, there were only 842 lawyers IN THE ENTIRE STATE OF TEXAS who are Board Certified in Criminal Law.

What Our Clients Say

The last offer of a plea bargain, the last chance before trial. Rick and I reviewed all the facts. We talked. He shared more findings he had just uncovered. His empathy and professionalism were outstanding. I really trusted him with my life. With a deep breath I said, let's go to trial, no deal. Back in the courtroom, he went straight to the attorney for the DA and got busy. He talked and pointed. He got animated. More attorneys. More talking. Finally to the clerk and called me back to the conference room. I was breathless. With the most beautiful smile I ever seen, he said, all charges DISMISSED.

Rick Oliver was a godsend. After my arrest for DWI, I had little money and absolutely no knowledge of the legal proceedings I was facing. Rick changed all that and worked with me despite my financial issues and still kept me very will informed with all aspects of my case. Rick made sure I knew all my legal rights and fought to ensure I was still afforded them. At every hearing, Rick was always very punctual and always had new information to pass on to me about my case. Any questions or concerns that I had were easily answered and addressed by Rick. I would strongly recommend Rick Oliver to anyone.

An Attorney friend refereed me to Rick K. Oliver for a DWI case. I was lucky to talk to him right away as he encouraged me to go get my own toxicity scan as I had just gotten out of jail. I of course refused to let the police administer a test so this was very quick thinking to show I did not have illegal drugs in my system. He was very informative when I talked to him and he explained the law far more thoroughly when I talked to him than even the established DWI attorneys. I decided to hire Rick Oliver and it was the best decision I made recently. I was really rude to the cops that stopped me cause I was obviously pissed off. This was quite apparent on the tape and report. He still managed to get the case dismissed. After watching the tape myself I have to say he is worth 10 times what he charges.
