White Collar Crime & Criminal Tax Defense
Kenton Sands
is a former federal prosecutor who holds a Master of Laws in Taxation
from New York University Law School and a law degree from Harvard Law
School. He has maintained an active white collar criminal defense and
criminal tax defense practice in the Central Florida area for over 13
years.
White
Collar Criminal Defense
Mr. Sands has represented individuals
and corporations in a wide range of white collar investigations and prosecutions
involving such areas as mail and wire fraud, bank fraud, securities fraud,
money laundering, currency structuring, telemarketing fraud, criminal
copyright infringement and internet cybercrimes. On the federal level,
these offenses are typically prosecuted by the United
States Attorney’s Office in coordination with various federal
law enforcement and regulatory agencies. The principal federal law enforcement
agency with jurisdiction over a broad array of white collar crimes is
the Federal Bureau of Investigation. If
you are the subject or target of a white collar criminal investigation
and have not already retained counsel, you should consult with an attorney
immediately in order to protect your rights.
Criminal
Tax Defense
Mr. Sands
has represented individuals and corporations in state and federal criminal
tax prosecutions involving income taxes, employment taxes and state sales
taxes. Federal criminal tax evasion cases are investigated by the Criminal
Investigation Division of the Internal Revenue Service and are prosecuted
by the United States
Attorney’s Office or the Tax
Division of the Department of Justice. Florida state sales tax cases
are investigated by the Florida
Department of Revenue and are prosecuted by the State
Attorney or by the Office
of the Statewide Prosecutor. The objective of these investigations
is not to collect tax, but to seek criminal convictions and potential
incarceration of tax evaders. If you are the subject or target of a criminal
tax evasion investigation and have not already retained counsel, you should
consult with an attorney immediately in order to protect your rights.
