Federal Criminal Defense

Acquittal Federal fraud — client acquitted at trial in a complex federal prosecution involving multiple defendants, government cooperators, and years of investigation. Result achieved through aggressive cross-examination and attacking the government's theory of the case at trial.
Defense Securities and investment fraud — defended client through a large-scale multi-party federal prosecution involving the SEC and DOJ. One of the most document-intensive, resource-heavy federal cases in the Southern District of Texas. Vigorous defense through every stage of the proceedings.
Dismissed Bank fraud — federal indictment dismissed pre-trial. Through aggressive pretrial motion practice and challenging the sufficiency of the government's evidence, the indictment was dismissed before the case ever reached a jury.
Dismissed Export control violation — federal indictment dismissed pre-trial. International sanctions and export control charges involving technically complex regulatory issues. Case resolved in client's favor before trial.
Defense Healthcare fraud — client defended through complex, multi-year federal prosecution involving alleged Medicare and Medicaid billing fraud. Aggressive investigation, expert challenge of government evidence, and trial preparation produced a favorable outcome for the client.

Business Disputes & Commercial Litigation

$10,000,000 Business partner theft — jury verdict in complex commercial litigation. Jimmy took this case four weeks before trial, learned the facts from scratch, and convinced a jury to deliver a $10 million verdict. No run-up. No extensions. Pure preparation and courtroom execution.
Protection Parallel SEC/DOJ investigation — client protected on both civil and criminal fronts simultaneously. Jimmy's dual civil-criminal perspective allowed him to coordinate the defense strategy across both proceedings, protecting the client from cross-contamination of evidence and admissions.
