What is Money Laundering?
When you conceal, transfer, transport or process the proceeds of a criminal activity, you can be charged with money laundering. In its most basic form, money laundering is a state jail felony. In its most serious form, money laundering can be charged as a first-degree felony, for which you could be put away for the rest of your life.
My experience in money laundering cases is well documented as a prosecutor, a defense lawyer and a published authority in Texas. As your lawyer, I can help you build a strong defense against these very serious charges.
Asset Forfeiture Laws
Asset forfeiture is a civil proceeding. Any proceeds of criminal activity are subject to forfeiture in Texas, which means the government can come in, freeze your assets and seize your money, real estate, motor vehicles and other property. If you are involved in an asset forfeiture proceeding, you will need a lawyer who is well-versed in preventing that from happening.
