Roger Wilson has extensive experience representing persons accused of "white collar" or financial crimes, including securities fraud, bank and mortgage fraud, healthcare fraud, and "public corruption" charges for abuse of official position, such as bribery and extortion under the Hobbs Act and otherwise. He has tried cases to verdict in these areas and he has resolved cases by negotiating charge reductions, sentencing limitations, dismissals of cases, and declinations of prosecution altogether.
RESULTS
A few examples of our results in defending clients charged with financial crimes and other white collar offenses:
- For an individual client under federal investigation for money laundering, we consulted with prosecutors to explain the true situation and persuaded them to not charge our client.
- We represented a client in a federal criminal securities fraud case based on manipulative stock trading practices, involving multiple defendants and millions of dollars in alleged losses. After extensive preparation for trial and negotiations with the Government, on the eve of trial we negotiated a resolution for our client that involved incarceration for approximately two years. Our client’s co-defendants proceed to trial, were convicted by the jury on all counts, and each was sentenced to 10 years of imprisonment.
- Roger Wilson participated in the defense of a CFO in a federal multi-defendant criminal securities fraud trial in which the jury acquitted our client of securities fraud charges, whereupon the remainder of the case was resolved on favorable terms.
- For a physician client charged with healthcare fraud based on billing practices, we negotiated a resolution short of trial which included only a fine and no incarceration.
- We have represented multiple law-enforcement officers accused of crimes such as Hobbs Act extortion, obstruction of justice, and abuse of official position. We have obtained successful results for our clients in these areas, including persuading prosecutors not to bring charges against our client in the first instance.
