Successfully Defending Fraud and RICO Claims

Our attorneys have defended and prosecuted such claims successfully on behalf of clients in both state and federal courts throughout the country. These fraud and RICO claims have involved significant damages, and covered numerous sectors, industries and financial transactions.

RICO claims often, if not always, involve tremendous reputational risk and can threaten the financial viability of the parties involved. Our litigators are sensitive to the potential consequences and have the experience to narrow the factual and legal issues involved through aggressive factual development and motion practice. We do not lose sight of the ultimate goal—to achieve the most favorable result in an efficiently and cost-effective manner.

Although we work hard to position these difficult cases favorably for settlement, our litigators have also successfully tried such cases, and successfully defended the results on appeal.
