Our firm concentrates on the defense of persons charged with such complex financial crimes as fraud, embezzlement, money laundering and other financial white collar crimes. Our clients include individuals, small businesses, and corporate officers and directors. Our principal attorney, Michael Youngs, was an FBI Special Agent Attorney for 25 years involved in every aspect of the investigation and prosecution of financial crimes such as those listed above. Before his government career and for the last eight years he and his staff have worked tirelessly to defend clients accused of criminal offenses both at the federal and state level dealing with every type of fraud and embezzlement case. Our office is familiar with the tactics of the prosecution in these types of cases since we were previously involved in the prosecution of these very same types of offenses. Because of our 35 years of experience, we can attack fraud charges on the merits of the evidence while working with the prosecution to eliminate or reduce as many charges as possible on legal, procedural or jurisdictional grounds.
We provide the advice necessary and represent clients in the defense of such individual or corporate crimes by suggesting the following guidelines for defendants accused of a financial offense.
The earlier we can get involved with your defense, the greater our ability to expand your options for dismissal of the charges, favorable plea agreement opportunities, or the presentation of a strong defense at trial. Whenever possible, the chance to represent you prior to a federal or state grand jury indictment will be particularly beneficial to your defense.
Conviction of any fraud crime, including criminal tax fraud will nearly always result in a term of imprisonment and heavy fines. It will destroy your potential your future employment prospects, particularly if you work in a licensed profession. Foreign nationals are affected in an extremely detrimental manner if there presence in the
United States is based on a permanent residence status or work visa. Defendants accused of these types of fraud offenses could face deportation and removal proceedings upon conviction as well. We understand what foreign born U.S. Residents are facing in terms of punishment and we will tailor our defense to meet your special needs.
There is a final fact which you as the accused should know. Federal prosecutors often seek money-laundering and tax fraud charges against prospective defendants in complex conspiracy investigations involving fraud crimes for two practical reasons. First, the possibility of a conviction on an additional charge provides the government with that much more leverage in plea negotiations. Second, it allows serious felony charges to be brought against persons whose connection to a fraud conspiracy is remote. Federal prosecutors often use money laundering and tax evasion charges as their most valuable tool for the government as a means of compelling cooperation in the prosecution of someone else.
Contact our Office immediately if you are arrested or believe you are close to being indicted so we can better intervene to assist you in preparing your defense.
