Financial Crimes
Financial crime allegations can destroy reputations, freeze assets, and result in serious prison time especially when federal agencies are involved. Whether you're facing charges of money laundering, fraud, embezzlement, or other financial offenses, the consequences are high and the prosecution is already building its case.
