Our lawyers represent high-income and high-net-worth individuals and companies in high-stakes federal tax matters.

LEARN MOREGovernment Enforcement & White Collar Defense
An individual who is charged with a white-collar crime, risks losing everything – freedom, financial security, career, and reputation.
Even if ultimately found innocent, an investigation can permanently damage the defendant’s reputation and livelihood. Therefore, the target of a criminal investigation should retain legal counsel immediately before charges are filed. Brown PC can offer often negotiate a non-prosecution agreement that allows the individual to correct mistakes and avoid prosecution.
