Successful Case Defending White-Collar Crimes

Chris G. – The defendant was charged with felony theft in an alleged white-collar scheme.  The defendant acting as a subcontractor (“sub”) on a big commercial project and was supposed to demo a large building, replacing in the process the HVAC system.  The sub took the old AC and heating system to his shop and dismantled them selling them for scrap.   The District Attorney’s office charged the sub for white collar felony theft.  This case like many white- collar cases was very paper intensive.   The construction contract incorporated the American Institute of Architects standard form of agreement (the AIA Agreement”) between Owner and Design Builder.  The AIA Agreement was a lengthy document with many obligations imposed on the parties.  However, it specifically allowed for the disposal of the old HVAC system.  Therefore, our argument was strengthened that the sub could do whatever he wanted with the old HVAC system.  Ultimately, we were able to get the case dismissed.
