Houston Conspiracy Lawyer

Houston Conspiracy Attorney

Conspiracy charges involve two or more people making an agreement to defraud the U.S. government or break another federal law. Successful completion of the crime is not necessary for the government to charge someone with conspiracy. A conviction can carry a sentence of 5 to 30 years in federal prison depending on the charge.

At The Law Offices of Richard Kuniansky, I have more than 35 years of experience defending clients from charges of federal conspiracy.

Cohesive White Collar Counsel That Makes A Difference

Federal authorities do not bring conspiracy charges against someone unless they feel confident that they have substantial incriminating evidence. To stand a chance at challenging them successfully, you need an experienced and aggressive attorney. Many conspiracy charges coincide with other alleged white collar criminal activity. As a lawyer who has defended and prosecuted thousands of white collar cases, I can represent you if you also face charges of:

• Tax fraud
• Fraud
• Wire fraud
• Medicare fraud
• Money laundering
• Bank/mortgage fraud

As a former federal prosecutor, I have seen how the other side puts together its cases – and how to anticipate its next moves. This also means that I know which defense strategies have the best chance of getting acquittals, dropped charges, reduced sentences or reduced charges.
