In these tough economic times, there are many individuals and companies that have been unable to meet their obligations. At the same time, investigators and prosecutors have become increasingly aggressive in their approach, often freezing assets before trial in a calculated effort to deprive citizens of their ability to resist and fend off accusations. It is critical to have counsel early in the process and to employ a lawyer who can recognize and address criminal issues before it is too late.

These situations require the assistance of experienced counsel who is versed in both the civil and criminal issues, and Brown, Bradshaw & Moffat is one of the best at doing both well.
