How Do I Hire a Criminal Defense Attorney for Federal RICO Charges?
Hire a lawyer with federal court experience and a strong background in complex conspiracy, fraud, organized crime, and asset forfeiture cases. A RICO indictment can involve years of alleged conduct, multiple predicate offenses, cooperating witnesses, financial records, wiretaps, and claims that a business or group operated as a criminal enterprise.
During your first meeting, give your attorney every document you have received and explain your connection to the other people or entities named in the case. Do not discuss the case with co-defendants, witnesses, or investigators before obtaining legal advice.
