Fort Lauderdale Money Laundering and Tax Fraud Lawyers
Federal Financial Crimes Defense Attorneys in South Florida
The penalties for federal crimes such as money laundering and tax fraud are severe. A conviction may result in truly enormous fines, lengthy imprisonment and the destruction of personal and professional reputation. Money laundering and tax fraud charges are often filed in cases in which there is a suspected underlying criminal activity that may be more difficult to prosecute or which may not carry substantial penalties such as fines and incarceration.
In particular, money laundering — along with conspiracy, wire fraud and mail fraud — is often used by the FBI or another federal law enforcement agency to "federalize" a case. This means that the case will be handled by federal prosecutors who often have access to more resources than their counterparts at the state level. It also means that the case will be handled in the federal courts using the federal rules, an area in which a relatively small number of defense attorneys are truly experienced.
From the moment you know or suspect you are under investigation for these or any other federal white collar crime, you need experienced representation. Contact the offices of Malman, Malman & Rosenthal today.
