Money Laundering Defense Lawyer in Los Angeles
Money laundering is considered a white collar crime. It consists of taking money that was acquired through illegal or criminal activity such as drug sales, prostitution, or
robbery and attempting to conceal the source of it. Using it for financial transactions that are considered legitimate creates money that can no longer be traced to criminal actions. It is called "laundering" because the money is "cleaned up" and the criminal source of the money is obscured. It takes a highly trained lawyer with ample experience in money laundering to ensure that your case and the evidence involved is carefully addressed and managed.
