AGGRESSIVELY PROTECTING YOUR RIGHTS

INTENT AND ACTUAL LOSSES

In securities fraud cases, there are two issues: what was the intent of the accused and the amount of the actual loss. These cases are complicated and require an experienced criminal defense attorney with a knowledge of finance.

At Rivers Law Firm, P.A., we are skilled at demonstrating that the defendant was merely following instructions or advice offered to him. The amount of a loss is usually a factor in sentencing. Our firm works to show that the loss claimed by the prosecution is at odds with the actual loss. This approach has led to lighter sentencing where clients have been convicted.
