Litigation: White-Collar Crime & Government Investigations

Our Criminal Defense Practice represents individuals and corporate clients subject to criminal and quasi-criminal investigations. We represent clients in federal courts throughout the United States and in state, municipal and juvenile courts in New Jersey and New York.

We represent clients charged with felonies, indictable offenses, misdemeanors, and disorderly persons’ offenses. We provide effective representation before charges are filed, responding to grand jury subpoenas, search warrants, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and other administrative inquiries. We have successfully persuaded federal and state prosecutors not to charge clients who have received grand jury subpoenas or who have been called in for interviews. We have obtained conditional discharges and pretrial intervention diversionary programs for our clients.

While our goal is to help our clients avoid being charged at all, we are prepared to fight to ensure that they are not taken advantage of by the government if they are charged. Our extensive trial experience together with a willingness and ability to try difficult cases often leads to extracting better deals from the government than might otherwise be offered. Our lawyers have tried many criminal cases and are prepared to defend our clients at trial when necessary.

We also are frequently called upon by public entities, private organizations, and corporations to conduct internal investigations and reviews regarding a wide range of topics.
