Money Laundering Defense
In federal court, money laundering charges are often added to the charges filed against defendants. Under the sentencing guidelines, money laundering charges can often drive and enhance potential sentences. The attorneys at Sugarman & Cannon have experience at both the trial and appellate levels fighting money laundering charges and mitigating their impact.
More Than 30 Years of Criminal Defense Experience
The criminal defense lawyers at Sugarman & Cannon have been providing criminal defense representation to people in the San Francisco area for more than 30 years. We are recognized for our experience in defending clients against complicated white collar crimes such as money laundering, tax evasion and embezzlement.
Many people think they can save time and paperwork by breaking up a large cash deposit into two or more smaller deposits and not violate the law. Unfortunately, the government considers that activity structuring. If you think you are being investigated for money laundering, you need to consult with one of our attorneys. Do not rely on information you have "heard;" seek professional guidance.
Collateral Consequences
Even after a criminal case is completed, many individuals have to deal with the collateral consequences of the charge. Those consequences can range from loss of federal benefits, the inability to contract with the government, revocation of a driver's or other professional license, interference with child custody arrangements, restrictions on weapon possession and immigration problems.
