Criminal and Civil Trials: White Collar & Regulatory Enforcement
Law enforcement investigations cannot be resolved satisfactorily unless the defense lawyer is fully prepared to try and win the case. Our attorneys know how to pick the right cases to try, and how to try them successfully. A few of our most recent cases illustrate the point:
- All charges against an individual accused of criminal bid-rigging were dismissed by the judge at the close of the government's case after two weeks of trial in federal court in Texas
- A jury in federal court in Florida returned a verdict of not guilty on all counts after the trial of a transportation company accused of filing false reports with and withholding information from a federal agency
- All charges against a food company official accused of making false statements to a federal agency in connection the largest food recall in US history were dismissed by the judge at the close of the government's case after four weeks of trial in federal court in Nebraska
- After a four-week bench trial in a False Claims Act case involving a major defense contractor, the court awarded the government $191,000 on its $13.5 million claim, an award less than half of the amount the company had originally offered to settle related non-fraud allegations
- The vice president for quality assurance of a major pharmaceutical company, accused of conspiracy, obstruction and other charges, was acquitted in federal court in Maryland after the company itself had pleaded guilty and paid a $10 million fine.
