White Collar Defense

INVESTIGATION REPRESENTATION

Every white-collar case begins before charges are ever filed, and it is always our primary goal to avoid an indictment against our clients.  We always prefer to get involved at the investigation stage.  We perform our own investigation, working with our clients to determine what actually happened and whether there is a strategy for avoiding charges ever being filed.

DEFENDANT REPRESENTATION

We have accomplished what very few lawyers have: complete acquittal on federal white-collar charges.  No client wants that – certainly everyone would prefer to avoid a trial completely.  But if a pre-indictment agreement can’t be reached, we are ready and have the experience to go to trial, having recently secured an acquittal in a 12 week jury trial.  We work with our clients and the prosecution team to resolve white collar cases with either a declination, the best possible plea agreement, or, if necessary, a trial.

WITNESS / POOL COUNSEL REPRESENTATION

White Collar criminal cases necessarily involve a lot of players – employees, officers, directors, and spouses.  We don’t have to play the lead in order to do a great job.  When a case involves multiple players who need to be represented by their own counsel, we are ready to look out for our clients’ own individual objectives.
