Dismantling the Government's RICO Case

RICO — the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act — is among the most powerful prosecutorial tools in the federal arsenal. A RICO charge transforms individual criminal acts into an "enterprise" with sweeping conspiracy liability, mandatory forfeiture, and sentences of up to 20 years per count.

RICO cases are by definition complex — involving multiple defendants, thousands of pages of documents, wiretap recordings, cooperating witnesses, and years of alleged criminal activity. Defending a RICO case requires exceptional organization, deep knowledge of federal criminal law, and the resources to mount a comprehensive defense.
