White Collar Crime Attorney in Spartanburg
Facing Financial Allegations? Get 25+ Years of Criminal Defense Experience.
White collar allegations often turn on extensive records rather than a single event. Banking activity, accounting files, contracts, emails, digital communications, subpoenas, and witness interviews can shape an investigation before an arrest or indictment. An explanation given without legal advice can also become part of the government’s evidence.
At Hisker Law Firm, PC, we provide white collar criminal defense in Spartanburg through a practice focused exclusively on criminal defense. We represent clients in South Carolina state and federal courts, from pre-trial negotiations through trial.
Call (864) 610-1277 for a free consultation about an investigation, subpoena, interview request, or criminal charge. We’re available 24/7 to discuss your next step.
Defense Strategies for State & Federal Financial Charges
Financial and business-related allegations may involve fraud, embezzlement, forgery, false pretenses, identity fraud, financial transaction card offenses, money laundering, or conspiracy. The potential charges and consequences depend on the alleged conduct, available evidence, value involved, and applicable state or federal law.
We examine the facts and develop a strategy for the client’s position. This may include reviewing charging documents, testing the government’s theory of intent or financial loss, assessing the completeness of financial records, identifying procedural or constitutional issues, negotiating with prosecutors, and preparing for trial.
Types of Cases We Handle
Our Firm is Here to Protect Your Rights
Criminal Defense Backed by 25+ Years of Experience
Attorney Steve Hisker has handled thousands of criminal cases during more than 25 years in practice. We apply that experience to personalized defense in state and federal proceedings, paying careful attention to the records, communications, and transactions at issue.
Clients have praised our focused attention and ability to look beyond obvious approaches. We assess each case on its facts rather than forcing complex financial allegations into a standard strategy.
What Happens During a White Collar Criminal Case
The right response depends on the stage of the case. Contact from an investigator calls for a different analysis than an indictment, pending bond hearing, discovery dispute, or approaching trial date.
Defense work may address:
- Initial contact: Evaluating an interview request, target letter, subpoena, search warrant, or grand jury notice before responding.
- Evidence review: Examining financial records, business documents, digital communications, witness accounts, and the prosecution’s calculation of value or loss.
- Pre-trial litigation: Addressing discovery, evidentiary questions, constitutional issues, bond or detention matters, and negotiations with prosecutors.
- Trial preparation: Organizing records, assessing witnesses, challenging the government’s proof, and preparing a defense for the applicable court.
Don’t delete records, alter documents, discuss the allegations publicly, or assume an informal explanation is risk-free. Preserve potentially relevant material and seek legal advice before answering questions or producing information.

"I wish more people exhibited the humanity you did"Dear Mr. Hisker, I hope this message reaches you in good health. I am not looking for legal services but wanted to reach out to thank you for what you did for that young gentleman, Brandon, as documented on the A&E show. This is my first time ever doing this but I feel you deserve this message. I wish more people exhibited the humanity you did in your defense of this “gentle giant”. Unfortunately, everyday we witness people acting and reacting to others without empathy and understanding.- Fida K.

"Thankful for good attorneys like yourself"
Dear attorney Hisker, I just watched the A&E show, and I am very thankful for good attorneys like yourself. Our system is good only when there is equality in defense, and you provided a great one. Before hearing the jury’s verdict, I almost assumed they’d say “he admitted he punched him, he’s hurt, therefore he is guilty”. I cheered when he was found not guilty and it gave me a moment of pride in our system. I am also so thankful Brandon didn’t fall into the plea trap where innocent individuals plea to lower charges due to the Pressure and overwhelming understanding that our system is unpredictable. I dream of a world where there are great defense attorneys like you for all defendants, and Where the system isn’t biased for convictions, but bias to obtain justice for all the humans that enter the system. As a Christian, I know just saving one is a blessing—so thanks for saving at least one- With great respect and thanks,
