Fort Myers Money Laundering Defense Attorneys
Working Towards the Best Possible Outcome
Many white collar crimes are serious felonies offenses involving financial institutions. Many people facing these charges may assume that quickly entering a guilty plea is the best way to reduce the pending penalties. When advising a client, we won't know the best option until we review all the evidence in the case. If the evidence is conclusive, we may advise you to accept a negotiated plea. However, proving the criminal act was possible and proving it beyond all reasonable doubt are two completely different things. We use our experience to identify weaknesses in the prosecution's case and work to negotiate a lesser charge or protect your innocence in court.

Florida Money Laundering and Fraud Defense
Historically federal crimes consisted of large scale gun or drug trafficking violations. Today a federal offense may include grand theft felony or welfare fraud. One thing remains constant, however: Those convicted of federal crimes face serious criminal penalties, including a lifetime prison sentence. Federal prosecutors have more resources at their disposal compared to Florida prosecutors, so these charges must be taken very seriously.
A white collar crime is often a federal crime and is frequently based on a trail of evidence. We will work with experts as necessary to unravel the chain of events and prove or disprove the validity of the evidence. We may consult with forensic accounts, IT professionals, CPAs and other types of experts or specialists.
