RICO, an acronym for a federal anti-racketeering act, intends to stop illegal businesses engaging in fraudulent schemes and enterprises. These include extortion, money laundering, drug offenses, murder, kidnapping, counterfeiting, embezzlement, and many other serious crimes. Some states also have similar anti-racketeering laws.
If you are facing charges for a RICO crime it is imperative that you immediately hire a Miami criminal defense lawyer who handles RICO cases. These cases can be extremely complex involving an array of legal issues. Your RICO lawyer will challenge the government’s evidence, aggressively defend you, and may be able to negotiate a plea if you choose.
In legal practice, experience matters. An experienced attorney will likely have handled issues similar to yours many, many times. Therefore, after listening to your situation, the attorney should have a reasonable idea of the time line for a case like yours and the likely resolution.
An attorney consultation should provide you with enough information so that you can make an informed decision on whether to proceed with legal help.
The more experienced a lawyer is in legal practice, the more likely he/she will be able to bring about a successful resolution to your issue. Since experience matters, lawyers who’ve been practicing law for many years (with a successful track record) tend to be in high demand. You should look for information about a lawyer’s experience and ask questions during the initial meeting. It’s a very good idea to ask the lawyer how many years he/she has been practicing law and the expected outcome of your case.
Pro se – This Latin term refers to representing yourself in court instead of hiring professional legal counsel. Pro se representation can occur in either criminal or civil cases.
Statute – Refers to a law created by a legislative body. For example, the laws enacted by Congress are statutes.
Subject matter jurisdiction – Requirement that a particular court have authority to hear the claim based on the specific type of issue brought to the court. For example, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court only has subject matter jurisdiction over bankruptcy filings, therefore it does not have the authority to render binding judgment over other types of cases, such as divorce.
