FELONY THEFT & LARCENY RESULTS

Grand Larceny & Criminal Tax Fraud

Our client faced up to twenty-five years in prison after he allegedly funneled New York City and New York State tax money into his own bank accounts for personal use. Once of the City’s biggest scofflaws, our client maintained hotels in New York and abroad. Despite a total alleged Grand Larceny of $5,000,000, our client ultimately was only required to pay $1,800,000 in restitution. More importantly, our client did not serve any time at all in prison despite being charged with a “B” felony that carries a mandatory term of incarceration.

Grand Larceny, Identity Theft & Forgery

Prosecutors alleged that our client stole from two individuals an amount that exceeded $70,000. As a result, detectives with the NYPD arrested our client on two separate cases. Our client was charged in two separate cases with over twenty felonies with sentences up to seven years on each one. After attacking the complaints and various grounds, prosecutors dismissed one of the cases and reduced the second case to a misdemeanor. Ultimately, our client pleaded to a misdemeanor and avoided jail. In total, our client was only required to pay $20,000 in restitution over an extended period of time.

Grand Larceny

A credit card company began harassing our client after they found out he had been using his mother’s credit card for well over a decade.

After extensive negotiations, the credit card company agreed to a payment plan that capped at $18,000.
