Secured Favorable Sentence for Client in Federal Fraud Case

Epstein Becker Green successfully represented a client during sentencing after his conviction for mail fraud, conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud, and conspiracy to commit money laundering—offenses carrying 20-year statutory maximums.

Despite the client facing a sentencing guideline range of 108–135 months and aggressive government efforts to apply multiple sentencing enhancements and inflated loss amounts, Epstein Becker Green’s team achieved significant reductions. Through a comprehensive sentencing memorandum and compelling arguments, the team reduced the loss amount by 39 percent—lowering the offense level by two points—and defeated key sentencing enhancements, including sophisticated means and leader/organizer, which reduced the offense level by an additional four points.

These efforts resulted in a drastically reduced guideline range of 57–71 months. The court further granted Epstein Becker Green’s request for a downward variance, sentencing the client to just 42 months—approximately 38 percent of the government’s requested sentence.
