Washington D.C. Criminal Defense Attorney
If you have been accused of a criminal offense or are involved in a criminal investigation, you have certain fundamental rights that can only be protected with the able assistance of an experienced criminal defense attorney.
Working to Avoid Indictment
When faced with a criminal investigation, many of my clients have made mistakes simply in trying to be helpful to investigators. It is extremely important that you avail yourself of the advice of an experienced lawyer immediately upon realizing you are under investigation and before you agree to an interview.
The right criminal defense attorney can protect your rights throughout the investigation and any subsequent legal action. This is especially true early in the process, where wise counsel and aggressive defense of your rights and freedom can be most effective in forestalling a grand jury indictment.
Fighting White Collar Criminal Charges
My criminal defense practice centers on what are commonly referred to as white collar crimes, including:
- Health care fraud
- Medicare fraud
- Corporate crime
- Conspiracy
- Bribery and kickbacks
- Obstruction of justice
- Perjury
- Embezzlement, wire fraud
- Extortion
- Internal corporate investigations
White collar cases often involve a massive amount of highly detailed evidence and extensive testimony from witnesses ranging from friends and neighbors to experts such as forensic accountants.
Defending Your Rights
In order to successfully counter a criminal charge, you need the able assistance of an aggressive litigator who possesses extensive experience and a deep understanding of all aspects of criminal law as they apply to your case.
If you are under investigation or facing criminal charges, contact my office in Washington, D.C., for a realistic evaluation of your circumstances and an aggressive plan for protecting your rights.
