(RICO), Extortion, Narcotics and Other Offenses
Areas of Practice

                have successfully represented a broad range of individuals and corporations in a wide-range of Federal prosecutions, including but not limited to Racketeering (RICO), Extortion, and Narcotics offenses, including some of the most significant trials in Massachusetts. If you or a family member is the subject of a racketeering, extortion, narcotics or other Federal investigation, we invite you to contact us to learn more about the depth of our experience, skills and knowledge in this area.

Defenses to these prosecutions are often factually and legally complex, and it is therefore imperative that you obtain legal representation as early as possible, such that your attorney can immediately begin his investigation. The goal of any such investigation is often twofold: acquire information essential to persuading the government that you have not committed any federal offense and, if necessary, begin to prepare a defense to a federal prosecution in the event the government ultimately decides to seek an indictment. We have the resources, experience and skills to effectively defend these investigations or prosecutions, and invite you to contact us to learn more.

Testimonials

I was one of seven lawyers participating in an 8 week trial for multiple defendants in federal court in Cincinnati, Ohio. Rob Goldstein was one of the other lawyers. His preparation, mastery of the facts and performance in the courtroom were outstanding. I have been in practice for 33 years, with 4 years as an assistant county prosecutor and the rest as a criminal defense attorney. I have had more than 250 jury trials in my career and seen many lawyers try cases. Rob Goldstein is as fine an attorney as I have ever seen.

~ Co-Counsel, multi-defendant federal trial

Mr. Goldstein, I practice federal criminal defense in Oklahoma City. Last week I had the pleasure of watching you in action...I saw some of your cross examination on Thursday and your closing argument on Friday. You were absolutely phenomenal and I was very impressed with your trial skills. You are one hell of a trial lawyer!

That was the best closing argument I have ever seen.

~ Co-Counsel to Attorney Goldstein after federal trial

I have spent a career watching and interacting with attorneys - as the elected district attorney, as a line prosecutor and defense attorney - you are one of a handful of the best lawyers I have ever seen in the courtroom.

~ Father of client, 2001 (Former elected district attorney, current defense attorney)

You were the best lawyer in the courtroom.
