The Stakes in a New York Money Laundering Case
The consequences of a conviction extend far beyond prison time and fines. Defendants risk forfeiture of assets, business shutdowns, professional license revocations, and permanent damage to their standing in the community. For business executives, professionals, and entrepreneurs, the fallout can destroy careers and financial stability.
Because the government has vast resources at its disposal, it is critical to mount a defense that challenges every assumption, every piece of evidence, and every procedural step.
How Our Firm Defends Money Laundering Cases in New York
From the first moment we are retained, our priority is protecting your future. Experienced attorney Evan Hughes immediately assesses the scope of the investigation, reviews financial records, and consults forensic accounting experts to untangle the money trail. By acting early, we often influence how prosecutors view the case and, in some situations, prevent charges from being filed at all.
If an indictment is issued, we aggressively contest it in court. We file motions to suppress improperly obtained evidence, demand full discovery, and expose weaknesses in the prosecution’s financial theories. Each matter is prepared as though it will go to trial, which strengthens our leverage in negotiations for dismissals or reduced charges.
When resolution is in your best interest, we pursue every available option, from plea agreements with minimized penalties to alternative sentencing structures that protect your long-term future.
