Farmington Hills Money Laundering Attorney

Serving Clients Throughout Oakland County, MI

Money laundering is a white collar crime wherein the offender attempts to hide the true source of money. For example, if money was obtained through drug trafficking, prostitution, embezzlement, or another white collar crime, the offender cannot spend the money without the risk of the money being tracked. They also cannot deposit the money into a bank as financial institutions are required to report unusually large sums of money coming into their hands.

It is estimated that billions of dollars are laundered every year, and the U.S. government is determined to stop it; this results in aggressive prosecution and harsh penalization. If you’ve been charged with money laundering, it is vital to have an experienced attorney on your side. I, Daniel D. Hajji, Attorney at Law, represent clients throughout Farmington Hills who face money laundering charges. For more than two decades, I have helped clients get their charges reduced, get their cases dismissed, or get acquittals at trial. I have the knowledge, experience, and skill to get you through this.
