Overcoming Conspiracy and Corruption Charges
A famous judge described conspiracy as "that darling of the modern prosecutor's nursery."
The charge of conspiracy is often employed in cases where the government lacks substantive evidence linking a person to the commission of an actual crime. Because circumstantial evidence can be used to obtain a conspiracy conviction, prosecutors can bend the rules regarding hearsay testimony and commit other abuses of the right to due process.
If you have been charged with conspiracy or are under investigation for a drug crime, white collar crime or other federal offense, strong and effective representation is a necessity. Without it, your rights and your freedom are in jeopardy.
Ed Mason is a criminal defense attorney with extensive experience defending people accused of conspiracy, corruption, drug charges and fraud. He understands the legal and constitutional defenses to such charges, and works tenaciously to defend his clients at all stages of the legal process.

Defense of Conspiracy Charges
To prove a criminal conspiracy, normally, the government must establish three elements:
1. An agreement to commit an offense
2. Willing participation by the defendant
3. An overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy
In defending a conspiracy charge, Ed Mason will deconstruct the government's case, element by element. He will take every opportunity to defend his client by making aggressive use of motions to suppress evidence and other procedural motions. Mr. Mason will also vigorously defend any related drug charges or white collar crime charges.
