Money Laundering Defense

Once used almost exclusively by the Federal government to pursue large-scale drug dealers, the Department of Justice has increasingly employed money laundering as a prosecutorial tool against white-collar criminal defendants.

The expansion of this tool designed to reach drug dealers through prosecutions of businessmen, public officials and politicians is troubling.

Fortunately, Mr. Withers has extensive experience in handling cases that charge the money laundering offense. Mr. Withers and co-counsel won acquittal on over 35 counts, including money laundering, for a well-respected criminal defense attorney in the case of U.S. v. M.S., Case #4:09-cr-00014 (Middle District of Georgia 2009).
