Our RICO attorneys are knowledgeable about all aspects of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act of 1970. Any leader of a crime syndicate, legitimate business, or organization who is accused of racketeering may be tried for violation of the RICO Act. When the government suspects a conspiracy is behind the commission of a crime, the prosecutors will add racketeering to the charges. Our skilled racketeering attorneys can explain how racketeering laws are used when filing charges.
What is the RICO Act? Essentially, the RICO Act applies to the criminal exploits of many persons, attempting to charge them all together. Our RICO attorneys have seen how, when a large conspiracy is suspected in certain crimes, racketeering is included to augment the penalties. These can have racketeering charges added on because, according to racketeering laws, if the government thinks a big conspiracy is involved, a complicated drug trafficking matter can suddenly become a huge racketeering situation with stiffer punishments in violation of RICO laws. Today, white-collar crimes like Medicare fraud are subject to racketeering charges, as our seasoned racketeering attorneys can explain.
RICO attorneys in our RICO law firm know that in order for one to be found guilty violating the RICO Act, the prosecution must demonstrate a "pattern of racketeering." We know the racketeering laws. A racketeering attorney in our employ will endeavor to disprove one or more conditions of a racketeering allegation, helping our clients avoid conviction. Call us for a consultation right away.
