Trial Counsel in Alleged "Ghost Candidate" Statewide Investigation and Prosecution

We defended a political consultant indicted after a statewide investigation—spurred by a Miami Herald article—alleged his involvement in a so-called “ghost candidate” scheme during a Florida Senate race. The case became highly publicized, generating over 50 articles in major outlets like the Orlando Sentinel and Miami Herald, and drew significant attention due to the political stakes and implications.

Recognizing the challenge of ensuring a fair trial amid intense media coverage, our team aggressively litigated pretrial motions and conducted extensive depositions to uphold due process. After nearly two years of strategic defense work, all felony charges were dismissed, allowing our client to move forward without a criminal record.
