White
Collar Criminal Defense
"I am all that stands between the prosecution and
my client, and by God, the prosecutor has to come through me
to get to my client."
J. Richard Kiefer
Bingham McHale lawyers are named among The Best Lawyers in America in the field of White Collar Criminal Defense in Indiana. We recognize that a criminal investigation—or having charges
filed—may be one of the most traumatic events in the lives
of our clients. We strive to uphold Mr. Kiefer's passion for
his clients.
White collar criminal cases are much different from street crimes
(such as murder or rape), and the firm's approach to these cases
reflects that difference. We respond to our clients’ needs
and keep them thoroughly informed every step of the way.
We routinely represent clients in federal and state white
collar criminal investigations, trials and appeals. Our experience
includes:
- Health care fraud;
- Mail fraud;
- Wire fraud;
- Anti-trust;
- RICO;
- Money laundering;
- Tax fraud;
- Bank fraud;
|
- Securities fraud;
- Embezzlements;
- International financial transactions fraud;
- Conspiracies;
- Computer crimes;
- Environmental crimes;
- Professional gambling; and
- many other criminal offenses.
|
The firm's representation of clients in criminal pre-charge investigations
and post-charge proceedings, including trials and appeals, extends
well beyond Indiana. Our attorneys have effectively represented
clients in criminal matters throughout the country, including California,
New York, Ohio, Illinois, Kentucky, Florida, Oregon, Louisiana
and Tennessee.
