Money Laundering

MAJOR CRIMES DEFENSE LAWYER FOR MONEY LAUNDERING IN MASSACHUSETTS

Criminal defense attorney Keith Halpern has over three decades experience representing individuals who have been charged with federal and state money laundering crimes in Boston and the rest of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Police investigators and prosecuting attorneys regard money laundering as an indication of organized criminal activity. The Massachusetts State Police, the F.B.I. and the D.E.A. have adopted “following the money trail” as a primary investigative tool. If you are under investigation for laundering financial assets or you have been charged with a crime connecting money to criminal activity, you need to contact a qualified criminal defense lawyer immediately. Call our Suffolk or Norfolk County law office to schedule an appointment.

Federal sentencing guidelines for money laundering are based on the amount of money at issue. The D.E.A. and F.B.I. routinely use undercovers to funnel cash to targets and drive up the potential sentence. It is essential to have an attorney with experience in challenging this sort of sentence-driven manipulation.

Money Laundering Crimes in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts

State and federal law enforcement agencies pride themselves on being able to make large cash seizures. The proceeds from the forfeiture of funds often go to the very departments that confiscate the money. As a result, police agencies are well incentivized and trained to detect undeclared income. If you have been charged with a money laundering crime, with this much stacked against you, it stands to reason that you should seek the best criminal defense representation that you can find, someone with experience in conducting independent asset investigations and in challenging the prosecution’s story. From his Boston and Wellesley law offices, attorney Keith Halpern represents individuals in their criminal defense and in the civil recovery of their seized assets. Attorney Halpern defends clients who are accused of:

  • Federal and state money laundering
  • IRS income tax evasion
  • Civil forfeiture reclamation
  • RICO Act violations
  • Financial Fraud
  • Forgeries
  • Owning and operating shell corporations
  • Obtaining money via illegal means

Testimonials

  • I was a client of Mr. Halpern, and I was fighting a First Degree Murder charge, along with two attempted murders and a firearm charge. There were times when I thought Mr. Halpern was against me, and trying to sell me out. But in reality, that was never the case. I realized that after a few arguments, and his telling me that he wasn’t going to give up on me. I realized that I was lucky to have someone who wanted nothing but the best for me. I was guilty of everything I was charged with. Still, Mr. Halpern fought for me like I wasn’t. No matter what I wanted to do, he was riding with me. Trial or getting a deal, he just wanted me to know what was at stake. At the end of the day, I took a deal. To be honest, it was the best deal ever for what I was facing. I would recommend Mr. Halpern any day to someone in a situation like mine. In my opinion, if you are looking for a lawyer and you are on their website, it’s important to look at how many wins they have. In my eyes, if somebody took a deal that can still be a win. It was for me. You should also check out what some of his previous clients have to say about him. I’m writing about him, so that should tell you something. I’m just blessed I was one of his clients. Mr. Halpern would never understand how grateful I am that I was represented by him. So if you’re looking for a lawyer who is going to put in overtime to make sure you come out on top, I would recommend Keith Halpern!

  • First, I would like to say that Attorney Keith Halpern saved my life, legally. The District Attorney wanted to give me a life sentence. Due to Mr. Halpern’s persistence, I was found Not Guilty by Reason of Mental Illness by a jury. Keith always kept me up to date with the way he was going to strategize my defense. He hired experts who aided in my case and were excellent witnesses. Throughout my trial, he would always ask the questions that needed to be asked. I never felt that he left anything out. He was extremely thorough. I would highly recommend using the law office of Attorney Halpern. He is very effective at achieving the best result from what could be the worst situation of your life. I owe him my life and I am extremely grateful. Thank you for reading my story and I wish you the best.
