Our client was an accountant accused by the U.S. Attorney’s Office of assisting one of his clients in perpetrating a multi-million dollar bank fraud. We successfully negotiated a plea to a charge of misprision of a felony and persuaded the Court to reject the government’s recommendation for a prison sentence. Our client ended up serving less than 14 months on probation, paid a small fine, and was reinstated as a CPA.
Our client was convicted of participating in a scheme to defraud the United States of more than $4 million in federal grants. The government sought a sentence of 60 months imprisonment, 3 years of supervised release, and more than $1 million in restitution. We were able to convince the Court to sentence our client to a year and a day incarceration, 6 months of supervised release, and restitution of $100,000.
If you have been accused or convicted of a crime or believe that you may be under criminal investigation, you need to get legal advice as soon as possible. Far too often, unrepresented individuals trying to help themselves inflict irreparable harm instead.
Our mission is to marshal our skill and experience to protect the underdog – to even the playing field; to safeguard liberty, property, and sometimes life; and to champion fundamental principles of justice, equity, and human dignity.
