Wise Laws has Providence defense attorneys on staff possessing a superior understanding of the complicated laws and issues applying to Providence Racketeer Influenced and Providence Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) litigation. We defend persons facing Providence racketeering charges in Providence.
Several of our Providence attorneys have worked previously as Providence prosecutors in various cities across Providence RI and have strategic insights of RICO trials, including the process of investigations, and how to defend those charged with racketeering.
Our background includes knowledge of and experience with:
The maximum penalties for a person charged as a Providence racketeer are stiff and may include up to 20 years time in Providence prison and enormous fines. In addition to this, forfeiture of the business, personal holdings and any monies accumulated from the criminal activity are usually to be expected in settlement. These cases do not end in criminal court, since they are often re-tried in civil courts where plaintiffs are permitted to bring actions resulting in triple damage awards.
Government investigators are highly trained at uncovering racketeering schemes and will manipulate juries to believe that greed is the only factor - thus negating any sympathetic feeling from the jury. Once a Providence RI racketeering scheme is uncovered, inexperienced trial defense attorneys often miss critical sections in the law that might be applicable in specific situations. Wise Laws has a team of Providence attorneys experienced on all aspects of the Providence laws applicable to racketeering.
Wise Laws has a successful history of winning in RICO Providence defense cases and represents people facing Providence Rhode Island racketeering and other serious charges. The Providence attorneys at Wise Laws know the applicable laws and legislation, understand issues relating to judges, Providence prosecutors, Providence district attorneys and the technology used against in the defense of racketeering or Providence organized crime related charges.
