Kathleen M. Sweeney - Indiana White Collar Crime Defense Attorney

Indianapolis federal criminal defense lawyer Kathleen Sweeney represents persons accused of white collar criminal offenses involving fraud and other financial crimes. As a former prosecutor in the Financial Fraud Unit of the U.S. Attorney's Office, Kathleen Sweeney developed a thorough understanding of the elements of federal fraud offenses, the procedures for obtaining indictments in grand jury proceedings, and the development of forensic evidence to prove complex fraud charges. To put this experience and trial skill to work for you, contact white collar crime lawyer Kathleen Sweeney in Indianapolis.

Whether you're facing charges of money laundering, investor fraud, mail fraud, or RICO charges, Kathleen Sweeney's legal knowledge and tactical experience with white collar criminal defense can give you a powerful advantage, even before trial. Because most federal financial crimes are charged by an indictment returned by a grand jury, she can represent your interests and work toward reducing or eliminating the charges against you while the prosecution is presenting its case to the grand jury.

If you are under investigation for securities law violations, insurance fraud, health care fraud, or similar offenses, or if you have received a subpoena to testify before a grand jury, Kathleen Sweeney's advice and representation can help you shape the course of the prosecution's investigation. She can also work with the prosecutor to clarify your status as a target, subject, or witness of the investigation, while developing her own strategies for minimizing your criminal exposure. The objective here is to keep the most serious charges against you from even being filed.

She can also negotiate the turnover of business records, computer files, and other evidence to the prosecutor while your investigation is pending. Persons of interest in grand jury fraud investigations invariably find it more convenient to provide evidence in this manner than to find a team of FBI agents removing all of their computers and file cabinets pursuant to a search warrant.

Indiana financial fraud defense attorney Kathleen Sweeney represents defendants throughout the state on white collar criminal charges before indictment, at trial, and on appeal.
