After an extensive, multi-year investigation by the United States Attorneys’ Offices in Connecticut and Maine, our client was not charged. His partner in the business venture, however, was indicted, tried, and sentenced to several years’ incarceration. Similarly, in a recent State investigation of our client for theft of computer information from his employer, we successfully negotiated a deferred prosecution agreement and, ultimately, the dismissal of all charges.
In other federal white collar matters, we obtained a sentence of probation for a client charged with hiring undocumented workers in his multi-store franchise business and probation for a client charged in a wide-ranging, multi defendant tax fraud investigation. In the latter case, our client was one of two defendants receiving probation, despite the government’s allegations that he was among the most culpable defendants.
