Look for a criminal defense attorney with direct experience handling federal financial crime cases, not only state criminal cases. Money laundering allegations often involve bank records, wire transfers, tax returns, shell companies, international transactions, and related charges such as fraud, drug trafficking, or racketeering. Your lawyer needs to understand how federal agents trace money and build a case from financial evidence.

As a former prosecutor, Matthew Cohan understands how prosecutors assess financial evidence before filing charges under 18 U.S.C. §§ 1956 and 1957.
