If you’re on our website, it’s because you’re facing serious federal RICO charges – and need the best defense possible.
Here in Houston, federal RICO charges are no joke. Just last year, 14 members from a transnational motorcycle gang were indicted on RICO and murder charges. It’s happening more than you think – right here in our backyard. Facing such charges is daunting, and the consequences – well, they can be life-altering, with penalties that stretch across decades. Look at United States v. Wall, sentences reaching up to 480 months. That’s serious time.
Understanding Federal RICO Law
Federal RICO charges are a world apart from state charges – they’re more complex, with tougher penalties. The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, or RICO, stands at the center. This isn’t just about the crimes, but a pattern of racketeering activity. And when convictions hit, they’re measured in decades – not years. So you ask, “What are the penalties?” We tell them: 360, 480 months – literal lifetimes. This is federal defense at its most intense.
The Dynamics of Federal RICO Indictments
A federal RICO indictment means prosecutors believe there’s a systematic pattern of illegal activity. It’s not just random crime – it’s organized and deliberate. Recently, prosecutors in Houston went after 10 MS-13 gang members. From indictment to trial, every step critical. And when federal charges, come knocking, it’s not just about isolated crimes, it’s about an entire criminal enterprise.
