Racketeering is the federal crime of conspiring to organize to commit crimes, particularly as a regular business (“organized crime” or “the Mafia”). Organized crime is crime carried out systematically by formal criminal organizations. The Organized Crime Control Act (U.S. , 1970) defines organized crime as “The unlawful activities of … a highly organized, disciplined association…”. Some criminal organizations, such as terrorist organizations, are politically motivated.

Definition of conspiracy – A person is guilty of conspiracy with another person or persons to commit a crime if with the intent of promoting or facilitating its commission he:

agrees with such other person or persons that they or one or more of them will engage in conduct which constitutes suchcrime or an attempt or solicitation to commit such crime; or
agrees to aid such other person or persons in the planning or commission of such crime or of an attempt or solicitation to commit such crime

Other Serious Felonies :

Arson is committed when a person intentionally burns almost any kind of structure or building, not just a house or business. Many states recognize differing degrees of arson, based on such factors as whether the building was occupied and whether insurance fraud was intended.

Robbery is defines as larceny by the threat of violence. Robbery is the crime of seizing property through violence or intimidation. A perpetrator of a robbery is a robber. Violence is an ingredient of most robberies, and its use sometimes results in the murder of the victim(s). Robbery is generally an urban crime. In common with most legal terms, the precise definition of robbery varies between jurisdictions.

Kidnapping is the taking away or aspiration of a person against the person’s will, usually to hold the person in false imprisonment, a confinement without legal authority.

In the criminal law, attempted murder is committed when the defendant does an act that is more than merely preparatory to the commission of the crime of murder and, at the time of these acts, the person has a specific intention to kill.

Domestic violence occurs when a family member, partner or ex-partner attempts to physically or psychologically dominate or harm the other. The term “intimate partner violence” (IPV) is often used synonymously, other terms have included “wife beating”, “wife battering”, “relationship violence”, “domestic abuse”, “spousal abuse”, and “family violence” with some legal jurisdictions having specific definitions.

Rape is a crime of forcing somebody into sexual activity, in particular sexual penetration, against his or her will through use of physical force, threat of injury, or other duress. It is also considered rape if the victim is unable to say “no” to intercourse, due to the effects of drugs or alcohol or is under the legal age of consent.

Manslaughter and homicide

Manslaughter is the unlawful, but unplanned, killing of another person. Manslaughter is usually broken into two categories:

Voluntary and involuntary manslaughter
Voluntary manslaughter

This arises in cases where the defendant may have intent to cause death or serious injury, but the potential liability for murder is mitigated by the application of a defense.
Murder is the unlawful killing of a human being with malice aforethought (the deliberate intent to kill). Murder is the crime where one or more human beings causes the death of others, without lawful excuse, and with intent to kill or with an intent to cause grievous bodily harm, which is traditionally termed “malice aforethought”.
Controlled substance – Drug Charges :

Marijuana, cocaine, LSD, mushrooms, etc.
PCS – drug possession
DCS – drug delivery / transfer
MCS – drug growing / manufacturing

Firearm and Weapon Offenses :

Felon in possession
Unlawful possession of a firearm
Carrying a concealed weapon

Have you been charged with a criminal offense?

When people are charged with a crime they face the prospect of incarceration. Ultimately that can bring with it probation and parole, large fines, forced registration with law enforcement, and perhaps most damaging, a record that severely hinders even the most rehabilitated – sometimes for the rest of their lives.

What’s worse is that the damage can extend even to the accused’s family in many ways. Finally, where a crime has been perpetrated the accused must acknowledge the damage that may have been done to any innocent victim. While we don’t claim the ability to undo harms already done, we are here to provide finest and most ethical legal defense you’ll find anywhere.

How a Defense Attorney can help you:

Be available 24/7. The key to good defense work is diligence and speed. We take this job seriously.
Spend crucial time on your case so that it is prepared as good as is possible at each stage in the process.
Spend time with you (and your family) learning and understanding you and your case.
Spend time in investigation so that we will know the case better than even the law enforcement agency involved.
Be in contact with the DA or US Attorney in an attempt to ensure that the case, where possible, is terminated as quickly as possible.
Hire and manage investigators, who are often able to impeach witnesses for the government who exaggerate or change their stories at trial.
