Challenging Your Charges

Most white collar crimes are related to theft and fraud, and many white collar cases revolve around deception in order to secure financial gain. We use our extensive knowledge to help you work toward resolution.

Depending on the circumstances of your case, our approach may include:

  • Challenging insufficient evidence during the investigation to get charges dropped
  • Negotiating a plea agreement with prosecutors for reduced charges and penalties
  • Challenging the evidence against you if it has been illegally obtained
  • Bringing motions to suppress in order to prevent the government from being able to use illegally obtained evidence in their case against you
  • If your case goes to jury trial, we can pinpoint weaknesses in the case against you and effectively present evidence to establish potential defenses

We can also utilize our professional network, which includes quality and trusted forensic accountants, private investigators, and substance abuse and mental health experts, to help us prepare and present evidence in court.
