The lawyers at Rudolf, Widenhouse & Fialko have been involved in some of the most noteworthy criminal cases in North Carolina, including the defense of Carolina Panther wide receiver Rae Carruth and Durham novelist Michael Peterson. But the vast majority of the firm’s clients have not been in the spotlight. These individuals and companies have been investigated or prosecuted for white-collar crimes such as bribery, embezzlement, securities fraud, bank fraud, health care fraud, false government billing, bankruptcy fraud, copyright violations, tax evasion and money laundering. The best result, avoiding prosecution altogether, is most often accomplished silently. Best Lawyers in America has rated Rudolf, Widenhouse & Fialko as the #1 White Collar Criminal Defense firm in North Carolina.
