Plea deal on Racketeering charge

Jan 24, 2014 by admin

I represented a person with being a member of a Racketeering Enterprise in the SDNY. Originally, the Government argued that he should be classified as a “leader” of the Enterprise. I was able to convince the Government that his “leadership role” occurred many years before and that his present role was different and smaller. I convinced the Government to this way of thinking, substantially reducing the offer to my client.

The Government’s original plea offer was up to 235 months. After the government reconsidered my client’s role in the Enterprise, the plea offer was for a more reasonable 84 months. My client will be eligible for early release within one year.
