The justice system is very unforgiving and there are no second chances. Make sure that the choices you make are the right ones.

Professionals, office workers, managers, corporations, and even politicians are not immune from overzealous or misguided government agencies and bureaucracies that justify their existence by creating criminal prosecutions.

White collar prosecutions generally begin as secret grand jury investigations or regulatory agency inquiries (e.g., EPA, DEA, FDA, IRS, etc.) and involve allegations of fraud, money laundering, conspiracy, and racketeering. These cases may be federal or state. In either case, the government has almost unlimited resources available to investigate and prosecute its targets.

An attorney can level the playing field and assert an effective defense. Sometimes, at the investigation or grand jury stage, or even later, an attorney also may be able to persuade the government to defer criminal charges. In other instances, the case will be litigated and will go to trial if a mutually agreeable settlement cannot be reached.

The consequences of conviction can be severe, including lengthy terms of incarceration, crushing fines and penalties, and loss of professional licenses and certifications. It is imperative that you have a skilled, experienced attorney to help you navigate the legal system and to protect and defend your rights.
