Our AV-rated* criminal defense lawyers have the experience and sophistication that can make the decisive difference in developing an effective defense to fraud allegations and other business or corporate crimes. We represent individual and business clients against such charges as the following:

In criminal cases alleging fraud, the defense very often relies on a two-pronged approach focused on the defendant's state of mind and lack of criminal intent while subjecting the government's financial evidence to rigorous forensic scrutiny. We engage the right experts for your case early and attack the factual foundation of the government's case as quickly as we can. By challenging the prosecution's proof from the earliest stages of the case, we can often achieve the reduction or elimination of the most serious charges pending against you.

In addition to the defense of charges involving fraud or federal RICO charges related to a client's business, we also represent clients facing such allegations as obstruction of justice, making false statements, perjury, bribery, or public corruption. We can not only mount the most effective defense available under the facts and the law, our experience with sensitive cases involving high profile defendants helps to manage the media treatment and public perception of the legal problems you're facing. At the same time, if the charges pending against you will jeopardize any professional license that you hold, our representation can address any disciplinary proceedings as well as the underlying criminal charges.
