While being investigated for white-collar crimes, P.R. did not get a lawyer, leading to his being indicted in Federal Court. His indictment laid out an organized scheme to defraud big box retailers of millions of dollars of money in false returns. P.R. was said to be an integral part of the conspiracy. He disagreed, but the Feds wouldn’t see it his way. And with no lawyer, he had no shot at changing their minds. A friend referred him to Matassini Law and he never looked back.
The alleged scheme involved multiple individuals in different states with different roles and a loose organizational outline. With a staggering amount of corporate retail loss only becoming more profound, federal investigators set their sights on breaking up the group with various law enforcement tools.
Search warrants and nighttime raids led to an impressive evidentiary treasure trove of laptops, cell phones, and incriminating communications. From these items of evidence, prosecutors would find what they needed to try and hold all conspiracy members equally responsible for the millions in lost revenue.
To combat the huge losses attributable to the P.R., Matassini Law hired a forensic accountant and former Secret Service agent to spearhead the defense investigation. What they found proved to be enough ammunition to get the federal prosecutors to completely reassess the loss amount attributable to P.R. The difference in guideline range was life-changing and made the matter much easier to resolve. In addition, the distinction allowed the Court to see how P.R.’s role was different and less culpable than his fellow co-conspirators.
Nicholas Matassini saved P.R. 5 years in prison and allowed him to return to his kids while they were still young. With a new career and growing family, P.R. is back on track to succeed in life.
