• Client, formerly the CFO of KPMG, was charged with the largest tax fraud in United States history based on KPMG's involvement in designing and selling tax shelters. In a precedent making case we obtained a dismissal of the case prior to trial based on a motion to dismiss due to the government's misconduct in interfering with KPMG's payment of the defendants' legal fees. The government has appealed the dismissal and we are currently representing the client on appeal.

• Client, owner of an electronic wholesale business, was charged with money laundering. We obtained a dismissal of the case prior to trial by proving to the United States Attorney's Office that tape recorded evidence established that our client was innocent of charges.
