RICO Defense
Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) Criminal Defense Lawyer Bruce Lehr of Miami
Criminal defense attorney Bruce Lehr represents individuals in Florida who have been charged under the Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act—better known by the acronym RICO. In recent years, the Federal Government and some Florida law enforcement agencies have been utilizing the RICO Act in ways that once were reserved for members of criminal syndicates. The RICO Act essentially allows members of a criminal operation who were not directly involved with the execution of a crime to be charged with racketeering. Law enforcement agents, however, have been known to stretch very tenuous connections in order to apply RICO to certain targeted individuals. As a criminal defense lawyer in Miami, FL, Bruce Lehr has successfully defended clients who have been charged under the RICO Act, sometimes being able to detach them from the suspected organization or defeating the charges all together. If you've been charged under RICO, contact Bruce Lehr immediately.

Regardless of whether you were charged individually, attached to a RICO case, or were arrested en mass with other alleged coconspirators, criminal defense attorney Bruce Lehr can represent you in all phases of your criminal defense. Like all other criminal charges, with RICO you are innocent until proven guilty. It is incumbent on the prosecuting attorney to build a case that shows your relationship to the criminal organization. Investigative agencies that build RICO cases tend to be meticulous with documentation and generally move forward only when they feel that they have enough evidence to obtain a conviction. They are not, however, incapable of making mistakes, and criminal defense lawyer Bruce Lehr is extraordinarily adept at exposing prosecutorial errors.
