Plainly said, a conspiracy is in the white collar crimes category of offenses and involves a contract of two or more people to commit a crime or to achieve a legal end through illegal means. With a former federal prosecutor in our firm, we know that prosecutors use the federal conspiracy statutes frequently in criminal proceedings. Extortion crimes involve complex legal matters starting with the investigation, moving to the arrest and trial, and ending with the sentencing. Such matters are best handled by attorneys who are knowledgeable in the federal law process. Our firm has been in business since 1975 and our lawyers are experienced litigators who are known for aggressive representation of clients' rights. You can be assured that we are intimately familiar with the federal system and will work hard to get you the best results possible.
Elements of a Conspiracy Conviction
In order to prove a conspiracy case under federal law, the government must establish these four elements:
- An agreement to commit an offense
- An overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy
- Knowledge and intent
- An unlawful object, i.e., a criminal offense
