With over 28 years experience in defending individuals accused of white-collar crimes, Benjamin Silva, Jr., a former federal prosecutor, heads S&G’s white-collar criminal defense practice.  Many clients in this part of our practice have never encountered the criminal justice systems before, and S&G provides them with the aggressive representation they need at all phases of the prosecution process.  From the initial investigation, to grand jury representation, through trial, our lawyers mount a vigorous defense against criminal charges on behalf of our clients.

Our defense team has the experience and knowledge to manage an aggressive, but discrete, defense against accusations of fraud, bank fraud, wire and mail fraud, tax fraud, Medicare fraud, securities fraud, embezzlement, conspiracy, and many other white-collar crimes.  The sentences for white-collar crimes can be just as severe as other felony convictions, and an experienced attorney is essential to a successful outcome.  If you have been charged with or believe you are or may be under investigation for a white-collar crime, you need an attorney who can advise you about your rights, options and risks, both criminally and financially.
