White collar and tax defense
White collar cases are often decided by documents, and by what a person said before they knew anyone was listening.
Most white collar matters begin as an inquiry rather than a charge. A subpoena, a civil investigative demand, an interview request, or an IRS examination. What is said and produced during that period becomes the government's case file, and it is difficult to undo later.
The substantive statutes involved, wire fraud, mail fraud, money laundering, and tax evasion, are broad, and the government's theory frequently depends on intent. Intent is inferred from circumstances: how records were kept, what disclosures were made, and what a defendant knew at the time. That means the defense is built from the same documents the government is using, read in full rather than in the excerpts that appear in an indictment.
Tax matters have their own structure, running in parallel through the civil and criminal systems, and the sequence in which they are handled matters.
