Thrilled to announce and congratulate Ron Herman for obtaining a complete acquittal in a complex federal financial fraud jury trial. Ron’s client is a bank manager who was charged with multiple federal money laundering and conspiracy counts. The federal case was investigated by United States Department of Homeland Security and prosecuted by U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida. The Honorable Robin Rosenberg was the presiding United States District Court Judge.
In this complex, document-heavy case, Ron’s client, a law abiding, white-collar professional without any prior criminal history, was facing 40 years as the maximum prison sentence. But with Ron on his side, the Defense fought and won against some of the most experienced federal agents and against the vast, unlimited resources of the U.S. Department of Justice. The Government’s team included elite federal agents and prosecutors who investigate international financial crimes and try multi-national wire fraud and conspiracy cases.
Thank you to my client for trusting me on this most important day in his life, and for the members of the jury for taking their duties most seriously.
Ron Herman, Founding Partner
Not backing down and drawing on his extensive trial and federal court experience, Ron fought several battles with federal agents and the team of veteran prosecutors. The Government produced extensive documents (called “discovery”) amounting to terabytes of electronic documents, which Ron diligently reviewed and disputed. During the 6 day jury trial, Ron skillfully disputed volumes of text messages, checks, wire transfers, and other evidence that the prosecutors argued incriminated the Client. On cross-examination, Ron impeached the Government’s witnesses and continued to undermine the Government’s case and expose the legal flaws in the charges brought against the Client.
After a week of long days of trial testimony, the jury deliberated for over 5 hours. During their careful deliberations, the jury sent back several questions about the evidence and the charges. As a result of all the hard work and expert trial strategy and execution, Ron successfully convinced all 12 members of the jury to find his Client NOT GUILTY on all money laundering and conspiracy charges. Ron’s client is beyond relieved to be able to resume his life after fighting these serious charges for years.
