The Legal Process for White-Collar Crimes in Brooklyn

We recognize that facing white-collar criminal charges in Brooklyn can feel daunting. At The Fast Law Firm, P.C., we’re here to guide you through every step, fighting relentlessly to keep your rights secure. Below is what you can typically expect as your case develops:

1. Investigation Phase

White-collar investigations can begin well before charges are filed. Agencies like the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), or the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) may spend months gathering evidence. If you think you’re under investigation, you can talk to us about it.

• We act quickly to shape the direction of the case whenever possible.
• Our team conducts its own investigation, exposing weaknesses in the government’s position.
• We protect you from self-incrimination during interviews or document requests.

2. Arrest and Charging

If charges are filed, you could be arrested or summoned to appear in court. At this critical stage:

• We stand with you during any interactions with law enforcement.
• Our team reviews the allegations and the evidence, building an immediate defense strategy.
• We fight for fair bail terms so you can remain free while we prepare your case.

3. Pre-Trial Proceedings

This period is crucial for white-collar cases.

• We can file motions to suppress evidence or dismiss charges when possible.
• Our team can negotiate with prosecutors, aiming for favorable plea deals or dismissals.
• We also use this time to prepare for trial, uncovering every detail that can bolster your defense.

4. Trial

If the case proceeds to trial, we present a compelling narrative that undermines the prosecution’s version of events. Also, our litigators cross-examine government witnesses and highlight exculpatory evidence. Our goal is to fight to cast reasonable doubt and secure an acquittal.

5. Sentencing (If Convicted)

In case you get convicted, The Fast Law Firm, P.C. works to secure the most lenient sentence possible, emphasizing mitigating factors.

• We explore alternatives like home confinement or probation where appropriate.
• We ensure you’re well-prepared for the sentencing hearing, so your voice is heard.

6. Appeals

If necessary, we’re ready to press forward at the appellate level. We will identify strong grounds for appeal based on legal errors or constitutional violations. Our appellate team crafts persuasive arguments to challenge your conviction or sentence.

At The Fast Law Firm, P.C., we understand the fear and uncertainty that come with white-collar crime accusations. You may feel overwhelmed, but it’s critical to remember that you have powerful constitutional rights. Knowing and asserting these rights can make all the difference as your case progresses.

• The Right to Remain Silent: Your right to remain silent means you do not have to discuss your situation with law enforcement or prosecutors without a lawyer present.
• The Right to Legal Representation: You are entitled to an attorney at all critical stages of the criminal process. We move quickly to protect your rights and guide you through each step.
• The Right to the Presumption of Innocence: The prosecution carries the burden of proving every element of the offense beyond a reasonable doubt. We ensure they are held to that standard.
• The Right to a Fair Trial: If your case goes to trial, you can confront witnesses against you and present evidence to support your defense.
• Protection Against Unreasonable Searches and Seizure: Law enforcement generally needs probable cause and a proper warrant to search your property or seize evidence. We scrutinize every part of the investigation to identify possible Fourth Amendment violations.
• The Right to Know the Charges: You must be notified of the charges and potential penalties. We explain each allegation in simple terms so you can make informed decisions about your defense.

Understanding these rights is just the first step. At The Fast Law Firm, P.C., we actively protect your constitutional safeguards through strategic motion practice, evidence challenges, and thorough investigations. We handle a variety of white-collar accusations, including:

• Securities fraud
• Embezzlement
• Tax evasion
• Money laundering
• Wire fraud

We recognize the potential consequences of a white collar conviction: prison, massive fines, and permanent reputational harm. We fight to protect your future every step of the way while working discreetly to minimize negative publicity. Our approach is both proactive and thorough, allowing us to stay ahead of the prosecution.
