Handling White Collar Crimes in Federal Court

Among the white collar criminal charges Dempsey & Associates has provided Florida and multi-state federal crime defense representation for include:

• Mail and Wire Fraud: It is a rare criminal activity (alleged or actual) that does not use telephones, e-mail, wire transfers, or the U.S. mail. As such, federal prosecutors frequently pursue mail fraud and wire fraud charges because they are easy to prove. If convicted, these charges carry significant penalties, including prison sentences of 20 to 30 years.
• Racketeering: Federal prosecutors often add racketeering and organized crime charges to fraud or other white collar crime cases in order to increase potential jail terms and fines. Under the Racketeer Influenced Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act, your charges can be used to tie together other defendants, thus exposing you to other serious charges you might not otherwise face. Such complex and aggressive tactics make it critical to have an experienced federal criminal defense attorney on your side.
• Securities Fraud: In today's world of financial 20/20 hindsight, you may be accused, as part of your company's management or ownership, of providing inaccurate information about the financial health of your company to the government, investors or banks. Dempsey & Associates can handle all aspects of your defense to both potential criminal charges and civil claims stemming from the SEC or other regulatory investigations.
• Medicaid and Medicare Fraud: Complex Medicaid and Medicare rules often trip-up doctors, pharmacists, and other medical professionals in health-related fields doing business with the federal government. Additionally, practices suggested by business, financial and accounting consultants can later be characterized as illegal and fraudulent, resulting in business practices that were once widely accepted to become targets of a federal investigation. Dempsey & Associates has defended and assisted numerous physicians and other health care service providers avoid or reduce liability for alleged fraudulent activities.

With the resources at the disposal of the federal government, extensive evidence is usually collected in federal criminal cases before charges are formally filed. We offer proven defense strategies that protect your rights and maximize the chances of avoiding criminal conviction, civil liability claims, and accusations of professional malpractice.
