Veteran Attorneys for Serious Allegations
We recognize the gravity of our clients' situations when they are pursued by the federal authorities or actually charged with having engaged in criminal conduct. Federal conspiracy or fraud charges carry severe penalties, and businesses and individuals found in violation of antitrust laws may be liable for treble damages. Vaughan & Murphy represents corporations and individuals in Atlanta and across Georgia, as well as throughout South Carolina, North Carolina, Florida, Alabama and Tennessee.
