What is Money Laundering?
Money laundering is a financial crime involving disguising the origins of illegally obtained money, typically passing it through a complex sequence of banking transfers or commercial transactions. This process makes the funds appear legitimate, effectively "cleaning" the money of its criminal associations. Money laundering can involve various industries and sectors, including real estate, banking, and business transactions.
Money laundering charges often accompany other criminal offenses, such as drug trafficking, fraud, or organized crime. Authorities and law enforcement agencies are vigilant in detecting and prosecuting money laundering cases to prevent integrating illicit funds into the legal economy.
What are the Penalties for Money Laundering in New York?
In New York, money laundering is considered a severe offense, and the penalties may include:
- Fines: Convicted individuals can face substantial fines, often exceeding the amount of money involved in the illegal activity.
- Imprisonment: Money laundering convictions can lead to significant prison sentences, ranging from several years to decades, depending on the case.
- Restitution: Courts may order convicted individuals to pay restitution to the victims or parties affected by the underlying criminal activity.
- Forfeiture: Assets and property linked to money laundering can be seized and forfeited, leading to substantial financial losses for the accused.
- Damage to Reputation: A money laundering conviction can have long-lasting consequences, including damage to one's personal and professional reputation.
Defense Against Money Laundering Charges
Mounting an effective defense against money laundering charges requires a thorough understanding of financial regulations, criminal law, and the intricate details of the case. Our experienced Dutchess County money laundering lawyers are skilled in building strong defenses for our clients. Some defense strategies include:
- Lack of Intent: Money laundering charges often require proving the intent to conceal the source of funds. Challenging this intent can be a crucial defense strategy.
- Insufficient Evidence: We meticulously review the evidence against our clients to identify any weaknesses or inconsistencies that can be used in their defense.
- Procedural Errors: If law enforcement authorities violate procedural rules during the investigation or arrest, it can lead to the suppression of evidence or even dismissal of charges.
- Mistaken Identity: Individuals may be wrongfully accused due to mistaken identity or confusion.
- Illegally Obtained Evidence: If evidence was obtained illegally, it may be inadmissible in court.

I am extremely thankful for having received the best representation from my attorney Kristen D. Farris for a temporary order of protection case against my soon to be ex-husband. Everything went so smooth with her amazing expertise and professionalism. In the court, she took charge right away and everything was just so well. I was so relieved! The outcome of the case was perfect and the case settled without any issues. I had no chance to stress! Finally, the office staff was so friendly and the communication, which was mostly through e-mail, was perfect. I am looking forward to working with Kristen with the next steps of getting a divorce. God answered my prayer when I asked for a great attorney :) I was so nervous but thankfully everything went so well!!!

"I am happy to recommend DRV Law and Kristen F. specifically. As a father divorcing an intractable and vengeful spouse, I was terrified of how the court would treat a father vs a mother, as well as of how my ex could muddy and delay the process."I am happy to recommend DRV Law and Kristen F. specifically. As a father divorcing an intractable and vengeful spouse, I was terrified of how the court would treat a father vs a mother, as well as of how my ex could muddy and delay the process. And all in the midst of a pandemic that made everything more complicated. Kristen and her team’s legal advice was consistently spot on, the office’s communication was regular and helpful, and their billing was fair and understandable. You won’t be disappointed in them!- A.B.
