Fighting RICO Charges
At Bachner & Associates, P.C., we represent people and organizations facing a wide range of criminal charges, including those facing allegations of racketeering and RICO violations. Since the purpose of the RICO statutes is to discourage organizations from engaging in patterns of illegal activity, the penalties for these crimes are more severe than non-racketeering charges.
These statutes were originally intended to punish hardened members of the mob. Since the scope has been widened to include people engaging in any sore of business, non-violent, first-time offenders are often forced to face unreasonably severe criminal penalties.
Types of organizations targeted for RICO violations today include:
- Corporations
- Brokerage houses
- Medical practices
- Insurance firms
Our attorneys have significant experience representing individuals and businesses facing RICO charges. As former prosecutors, we know how the opposition will try to build a case against you. As elite criminal defense lawyers, we know how to tear their cases down.
