Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough
My practice is 100% dedicated to the defense of individuals and businesses accused or suspected of committing federal white collar crimes. This includes defending against federal white collar criminal investigations conducted by the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) and parallel proceedings brought by federal agencies such as the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Federal Trade Commission (FTC), and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). It's all I do.
I've been representing and defending white collar clients for the past 23 years. During that time period I have kept scores of clients from ever being charged with a federal white collar criminal offense, and, on 11 occasions, convinced federal prosecutors to dismiss previously filed felony white collar charges against my clients.
I represent white collar clients in all phases of a case, from investigation to trial and, if necessary, in sentencings and appeals. I have extensive first chair experience in complex federal criminal white collar jury trials.

- Q. Can the Federal DOJ's Financial Litigation Unit (FLU) go after property and bank accounts belonging solely to my wife...
- A: It depends on all of the specific facts of your situation. Generally speaking, DOJ cannot reach a spouse's separate property unless the property constitutes the proceeds of your crime or was obtained with the proceeds of your crime.
