Criminal
Defense / White Collar Crime
The
firm is frequently retained by clients facing criminal charges in
federal and state courts, as well as charges brought by regulatory
agencies. A vigorous defense is a necessity: the recent
exoneration of over one hundred innocent people who were convicted
of crimes they did not commit shines a troubling light on the
criminal justice system. To test prosecution claims, the firm
locates and interviews witnesses, and utilizes an extensive array
of news archive and court databases to develop background on
various parties.
News
Alert: In December 2005, we
completed the defense investigation in the last of a trilogy of
federal trials involving clients since mid-2003. In each
case, our client was acquitted after the investigation exposed
major factual flaws in the testimony of government
witnesses.
