Public Corruption

Public corruption involves using illegal means or pressures to influence how governments work. Bribery of public officials is a recognizable form of public corruption, as is extortion. While bribery involves giving someone something in exchange for a desired outcome, extortion utilizes threats to achieve a needed result. Many times, however, words and actions are taken out of context and misinterpreted. You can be accused of something without having any criminal intent. You need a criminal defense attorney with a winning strategy to fully investigate the facts, to put your actions in the best light, and to vigorously attack each and every element of the state’s case.​
