The most effective white collar defense begins before charges are filed. We engage with investigating agencies, shape information flow, and advocate for declination of prosecution. When clients become aware of internal investigations or receive target letters, our immediate involvement can influence case direction and potentially prevent formal charges. Our team navigates grand jury proceedings, search warrant executions, and document requests to protect your interests during these critical early stages.

White collar prosecutions rely heavily on financial documentation and complex transaction analysis. We partner with forensic accountants, industry specialists, and financial experts to challenge the prosecution's interpretation of transactions, accounting practices, and compliance standards. Many cases hinge on questions of intent versus legitimate business judgment, regulatory interpretation, or common industry practices that prosecutors may mischaracterize as criminal conduct.

For appropriate cases, we pursue alternatives to trial including civil settlements, deferred prosecution agreements, or reduced charges that preserve professional licensure and minimize reputational damage. With deep experience defending executives and professionals, we understand how to structure resolutions that allow for career continuity while addressing allegations. Our approach balances immediate case outcomes with long-term professional viability for clients navigating these challenging circumstances.

When trial becomes necessary, we translate complex financial matters into compelling narratives that resonate with jurors. Our defense strategies focus on challenging the government's interpretation of financial transactions, demonstrating legitimate business purposes, disputing loss calculations, and ensuring that good-faith business decisions aren't criminalized. Post-conviction, our appellate advocacy addresses sentencing issues, legal errors, and constitutional violations through all available channels.
