We work quickly to protect clients during investigations, challenge the government’s allegations, and build strategic defenses in complex financial crime cases.
Here is what you can achieve:
White collar investigations are often well underway before you receive any contact from law enforcement.
Subpoenas may already have been issued to your bank, your business, your accountant, or your employees before anyone approaches you directly.
Our firm understands how these investigations develop, what agencies are looking to establish, and how to intervene strategically at every stage, from the first subpoena through trial. We bring financial analysis, forensic review, expert consultation, and careful examination of government evidence to every case we handle.
Whether you have received a subpoena, a target letter, or a visit from investigators, the time to act is now.
Do not speak to them without an attorney present. Do not attempt to explain or cooperate on your own. Call Mayersohn Law Group immediately at 954-765-1900. What you say in the first contact before you have counsel can define the entire direction of the case.
Ponzi scheme prosecutions typically involve wire fraud under 18 U.S.C. 1343, securities fraud, and money laundering, often simultaneously. South Florida is one of the most active jurisdictions in the country for these cases, and early defense intervention is essential to the outcome.
Florida Statute 775.0844 allows aggravated charging when a white collar crime victimizes 10 or more elderly persons, 20 or more people total, or causes $50,000 or more in losses to the state. The enhanced penalties include fines of $500,000 or double the financial gain on top of prison exposure.
Yes. Complex financial evidence can be challenged on Fourth Amendment grounds, through suppression of illegally obtained records, or by demonstrating that the prosecution’s financial theory is legally insufficient. Pre-trial dismissals and favorable negotiations are both realistic outcomes with the right defense strategy.
State charges are prosecuted by the Florida State Attorney under Florida statutes. Federal charges involve the DOJ, FBI, or SEC and proceed under federal law in the Southern District of Florida. Many white collar cases involve both simultaneously, requiring an attorney with experience navigating overlapping state and federal jurisdiction.
Asset freezes and forfeiture actions often accompany white collar charges, sometimes before the case ever reaches trial. Your attorney needs to act immediately to challenge any freeze and protect your ability to fund your defense and continue operating your business.
A target letter is formal notification from federal prosecutors that you are the target of a grand jury investigation. It is one of the clearest signals that charges are being considered. Contact an attorney immediately upon receiving one and do not respond without legal counsel in place.
Yes. Fraud, embezzlement, and financial crime allegations can trigger disciplinary proceedings and license revocation across a wide range of licensed professions including healthcare, law, real estate, contracting, and financial services, often before a criminal conviction is ever entered.
