Criminal Defense
Within Sacks Tierney's
criminal defense practice is a sharp focus on representing defendants accused of
white collar crimes and serious felonies
Sacks Tierney provides clients with aggressive and superior representation in
state and federal white-collar and other criminal matters, including mortgage
fraud, mail and wire fraud, and self-defense cases. Through creative pre-trial
motion work, including suppression motions, Sacks Tierney attorneys have obtained pre-trial
dismissals of serious felony charges and obtained numerous acquittals
for clients who have gone to trial.
Our representation of
criminal defendants includes:
-
Investigations and Criminal Defense. We
represent entities and individuals in government investigations and in
defense of white collar criminal prosecutions, as well as other select
criminal matters, including self-defense cases, aggravated assault charges,
other “dangerous” felonies, drug cases, and property crimes.
-
Internal and Government Investigations. Conducting an effective internal
investigation prior to or in response to a formal investigation can root out
criminality, persuade a prosecutor that there is none, and prevent the
filing of criminal charges. We represent individuals, corporations, closely
held companies and Native American tribes in response to regulatory, grand
jury and other government investigations.
-
Grand Jury Representation. Sacks Tierney
represents entities and individuals in all stages of state and federal grand
jury proceedings, including targets, subjects and witnesses in grand jury
investigations. With expertise in e-discovery and the production of
electronically stored information, we are particularly adept at efficiently
responding to burdensome demands for documents without interrupting business
operations.
-
Asset Forfeiture. Seizure of a company's assets can cripple business
operations. Whether you or your company is a criminal defendant, the subject
or target of a government investigation, or an indisputably innocent
witness, you can suffer the seizure of personal and business assets, without
warning, by the state or federal government and have those assets placed
into forfeiture proceedings. Through negotiations with prosecutors or making
formal legal claims to the seized property, we can recover those assets as
expeditiously as the law permits.
