Money Laundering

Money Laundering is the investment or transfer of money obtained through criminal means, such as drug dealing, wire fraud or theft, so that it appears that its original source either cannot be traced, or appears to be legitimate. While Money Laundering itself is a crime, it is often a conduit to other criminal activity being hidden by the money laundering. For example, and indictment on money laundering charges often leads to being indicted on a drug crime as well.

Often, money laundering and related offenses are prosecuted in federal jurisdictions. Federal Courts are different from State Courts and require a different type of defense attorney. Federal crime is investigated by large government agencies with virtually unlimited resources and time to build their cases. If you suspect that you may be charged or under investigation by the federal government, it is critical that you obtain the services of an experienced federal crime attorney.

A conviction on money laundering can be subject to strict sentencing guidelines and substantial prison terms and restitution based on the amount of money involved. Even the accusation of a crime, regardless of the evidence, can do substantial harm to your professional reputation.

Defense!

Pre-trial preparation by a lawyer is the key to successful defense of a white collar crime allegation. LibertyBell Law Group's defense team of criminal attorneys, investigators and experts have the experience and expertise to determine which records are relevant to your case and thoroughly analyze these records for your benefit and an advantageous result.

Money Laundering criminal defense requires specific techniques, used by our criminal attorneys, depending on the case and any co-occurring crime accusations. The investigation generally requires discovery motions to compel prosecutors, employers, banks and other institutions to turn over all records to our lawyers and experts, who will analyze them for your defense.

Money Laundering cases are won and lost based on pre-trial preparation. By staying one step ahead of the prosecution, it is sometimes possible to prevent additional, even more serious charges. LibertyBell Law Group criminal attorneys have the expertise to conduct the necessary investigation, and know how to dissect and assemble evidence to establish a winning defense.

Because of the time and specialized skills involved, money laundering legal proceedings require a defense team of attorneys and experts, not just a single lawyer. Prosecutors generally do not pursue crime cases they do not feel they can prove in trial. This is why it is critical to dig even deeper than the prosecution and inject the reasonable doubt that will let you win in the courtroom, if necessary.
