• Practice Areas:
  • White Collar Criminal Defense
    From the moment that a person or entity learns of their potential involvement as a witness, subject or target of a state of federal criminal investigation, that person or entity needs professional assistance in navigating what could be very troubled waters.
  • Corporate Internal Investigations
    The discovery of potential criminal conduct by a employee can be a nightmare for a corporation. Mr. Wiechert's experience as a federal prosecutor, in conjunction with his ability to call on the assistance of former FBI, IRS and other law enforcement agents, allows him to determine the scope of the problem and prepare a detailed report and recommendations that can be utilized to help the entity best protect itself from criminal exposure.
  • Criminal Appeals
    Few trials and sentencing proceedings are perfect. It is crucial that a client facing an adverse outcome in the lower court has an experienced lawyer to bring all potential errors to the attention of the reviewing court.
  • Administrative Agency Representation
    Many times a formal or informal administrative hearing before the SEC, FTC, CFTC, IRS, FDA, or DOD can have criminal implications. Perhaps the hardest call a client and attorney must make is whether the client should assert the Fifth Amendment during these proceedings.
  • Complicated Civil Litigation Defense
    Frequently civil fraud litigation turns into a criminal fraud investigation. When civil allegations have criminal ramifications, your lawyer needs to be adept in both arenas.
• What to Expect:
  • When should I consult a white collar criminal lawyer?
    Anytime you learn that you or your records are the subject of a law enforcement inquiry, or whenever you are involved in civil or administrative proceedings where you are concerned about potential criminal exposure.
  • What should I look for in a white collar criminal lawyer?
    Consequences in the criminal arena can be extraordinarily harsh. It is not uncommon under current sentencing provisions for individuals with no criminal history to receive sentences of 5 years in prison or more.
  • Should I negotiate a flat fee or pay hourly?
    This is a choice that is in large part a function of a person's financial circumstances.
  • Is Mr. Wiechert the right choice as my white collar criminal lawyer?
    Absolutely. Arguably the decisions you make with your white collar criminal lawyer are some of the most important decisions you will make in your life.
