Defending Clients Facing Money Laundering Charges

With the influx of sports betting and high stakes stock trading, today's laws are designed to prevent not only the mob, but also private businesses and individuals from sports gambling and money reporting schemes.

Money laundering is a method of disgusting ill gotten gains usually large sums of cash and reintroducing the funds into the financial system through legitimate business. The key to a successful money laundering defense is working with a lawyer who takes time to fully understand the law and facts involved. Nishay K. Sanan, Esq. uses his tax and accounting experience to follow the paper/money trail, going through all the documents and developing a strong defense.
