Bank Fraud Defense Lawyers

Bank fraud allegations carry severe federal penalties, substantial fines, and reputational harm that can damage careers and businesses. Federal prosecutors pursue these cases aggressively, relying on complex financial evidence, cooperating witnesses, and advanced forensic accounting. Allegations may involve check fraud, loan fraud, wire transfers, or schemes to defraud financial institutions, all of which require defense counsel with a deep understanding of banking regulations and federal criminal law.

Our Experience With Bank Fraud Defense

Our firm brings extensive experience from both sides of the courtroom. Daniel Fortune supervised major white collar fraud matters as Deputy Chief Assistant U.S. Attorney, collaborating with the FBI and financial regulators to investigate and prosecute financial crimes. He has also represented financial institutions in complex litigation, giving our firm valuable insight into the banking industry, regulatory compliance, and the federal statutes that shape these cases.

Bank fraud allegations often intersect with wire fraud, money laundering, and other financial crimes, creating exposure to additional charges and enhanced penalties. Our background with wire fraud jury trials, financial institution clients, and federal prosecutorial strategy allows us to identify weaknesses in the government's evidence, challenge financial analyses, and deliver a strong defense. With more than 23 years of legal experience and a detailed understanding of agencies including the FBI, Secret Service, and Department of Justice, our firm is equipped to manage the most complex financial crime investigations.
