Our attorneys have extensive experience representing business entities and individuals in connection with governmental investigations of potential wrongdoing.
Our record demonstrates we understand the intricacies of representing clients accused of federal and state crimes such as:
- Tax evasion (Income, Sales, Payroll, Etc.)
- Failure to file tax returns
- Conspiracy
- Fraud
- Racketeering
- Bank Secrecy Act violations
- Foreign Bank Account Reporting (FBAR) penalties
Our initial goal in defending clients under criminal investigation is to ensure protection of their Constitutional rights. We utilize tools such as Kovel letters to incorporate a client’s accountant into our defense team and ensure information and strategy discussions are protected by the attorney-client privilege. We explore the options available that could avoid indictments and adverse publicity. Should an indictment occur, we wage a vigorous and tenacious defense at trial, and, if necessary, at sentencing and on appeal. Our extensive knowledge of both the tax codes and criminal procedure bolster our ability to provide an effective defense for our clients.
