Government Investigations & Prosecution

From being served with a Grand Jury subpoena as a witness, to being told you are the subject of an investigation, to being indicted with a crime, a person’s encounter with federal agents, prosecutors, and the criminal justice system is often a traumatic experience.

Without zealous and effective representation, the criminal justice system does not work. We have spent substantial portions of our careers as prosecutors and criminal defense attorneys and know what works (and what doesn’t) for both. We have tried dozens of criminal jury trials and have argued numerous criminal appeals.

We have represented individuals and organizations under investigation and charged with crimes and in ancillary criminal proceedings regarding extradition and collateral challenges of convictions.

Frank Maderal spent six years as an Assistant United States Attorney in the Southern District of Florida taking on high-profile cases, including as lead prosecutor in some of the largest money-laundering prosecutions in the history of Miami.

Frank led complex local and international investigations and prosecutions against individuals and corporations for corruption, Ponzi schemes, fraud, money laundering, foreign bribery, computer fraud, and Bank Secrecy Act violations. Frank also lectured federal law enforcement agencies on cyber-crime and complex money laundering investigations.

During his time at the U.S. Attorney’s Office, John Byrne charged over 60 cases, including numerous fraud cases.

Frank and John have defended individuals and organizations under investigation and indictment and subject to grand jury subpoenas.
