Criminal Syndicate Offenses 

Arizona law A.R.S. §13-2301 defines a criminal syndicate as a group of people or organizations involved in continual felony violations. Whether you are a participant in a criminal street gang or involved in promoting their illegal activities, you could face felony charges, which entail serious penalties.

Our Phoenix criminal defense lawyers have helped people charged with:

Money Laundering

Charges related to laundering profits from illegal activities can carry severe penalties. Our team works diligently to examine the case and look for any deficiencies in how the alleged laundering was investigated or in proving our client intended to conceal illicit funds.

Human Trafficking and Smuggling

Arizona law prohibits exploiting individuals for profit or transporting them across borders illegally. Defending against these serious allegations requires vigorously challenging any claims of intentional wrongdoing. Our Phoenix criminal defense lawyers understand how to defend your rights and fight against these charges.

Trafficking Stolen Goods and Property

Trafficking stolen property typically involves more than just possession of stolen items. There is an element of intentional sale, transfer, distribution, or disposal of property that the person knows or has reason to believe was stolen. Our attorneys can help defend you against these allegations.

Phoenix Drug Offenses

Drug crime laws often involve complicated statutes open to interpretation. An experienced lawyer can identify any issues with the search and seizure of evidence or technical aspects of charges, like weight thresholds to weaken cases.

Extortion

Extortion is classified as a felony offense in Arizona. The line between a threat and other communications can be blurry. Our gang crimes attorneys in Phoenix investigate extensively, highlighting any reasonable explanations for contact that do not amount to criminal extortion under the law. 

Fraud and Racketeering

Wide nets are sometimes cast for these allegations. We can help defend against charges like identity theft, drug trafficking, prostitution rings, stolen goods fencing, extortion, and charges of illegal gambling like dog fighting.

Aggravated Assaults

Witness accounts of confrontations are often imperfect. We effectively cross-examine and highlight inconsistencies or reasonable doubts that could negate elevated assault charges. 

Some of these charges can result in a criminal conviction of a federal crime. Any allegation of a criminal offense associated with gang crime is serious, so it’s advisable to seek a consultation with a criminal attorney in Phoenix immediately.

Aggressive Action Against the Gang Enforcement Bureau and Law Enforcement

In Arizona, a government organization called the Gang Enforcement Bureau operates GIITEM, or the Gang and Immigration Intelligence Team Enforcement Mission. This organization consists of law enforcement agencies from multiple districts that pool resources and intelligence regarding criminal matters involving gangs and illegal immigration.

During his time at the Maricopa County prosecutor’s office, our founding attorney, Richard Suzuki, worked in the gang enforcement unit, handling violent crimes and crimes related to gang activity.
