Racketeering
Racketeering involves the operation of an illegal business for profit. The criminal defense attorneys at Tully Rinckey PLLC are experienced in handling racketeering charges. We serve the Capital District area including Albany, Saratoga, Schenectady, and Troy.
The government has a tremendous amount of power to monitor and go after suspected offenders under various state and federal anti-racketeering laws. Racketeering activity can cover a large number of other offenses, including serious violent felonies, fraud and other white-collar crimes, and others. On account of this widespread corruption, these cases are dealt with extremely severely. The government pours a lot of its resources into building racketeering cases.
A conviction for racketeering can result in severe consequences, which may include:
- Prison time, including the possibility of a life sentence without parole
- Severe fines and/or restitution paid to victims
- Loss of certain constitutional rights
- Forfeiture of assets
After a person has been charged with racketeering, the smartest thing to do is consult with an experienced criminal defense attorney. An attorney will guarantee that their rights are protected. A knowledgeable criminal defense attorney can evaluate the case and advise on the best course of action. In many cases, the charges can be reduced or even dismissed.
At Tully Rinckey, we know the best defense is an experienced legal team, and we have the experience that counts. Our team consists of a former United States Prosecutor, a former County Court Judge, and a former Assistant District Attorney/Bureau Chief. Put them to work for you!
Please call us immediately if you or someone you know has been charged with racketeering or a related crime. You can reach us at 1-888-529-4543 or after hours for emergency legal service at 518-727-3593. You can reach us by e-mail at info@tullylegal.com.
