Kaiser PLLC has extensive experience representing clients in white-collar criminal matters.
Two of our partners, Matt Kaiser and Jon Jeffress, are former Assistant Federal Public Defenders. Another, William Pittard, has handled white-collar matters for more than a decade, including here, in government, and elsewhere in private practice. Given our backgrounds, we are uniquely suited to obtaining the best possible result for our clients in criminal cases.
We understand that our clients in criminal cases are fighting for their lives. In addition, the consequences of a conviction can go far beyond possible prison time. If you’re facing criminal charges, it will affect your reputation, your career, your family, and your finances. We thrive when working for clients when the stakes are high.
The firm has represented clients in criminal matters in numerous federal and state courts around the country. We have a strong track record of trial work, victories on pretrial motions, successful sentencing advocacy, and negotiations to resolve cases short of a trial.
Sample representations in federal court include:
- A physician charged with using mislabeled prescription drugs, and helping others import those mislabeled drugs.
- A stockbroker accused of defrauding his clients.
- A businessman accused of conspiring with a high-ranking government official to commit visa fraud.

- Many other clients accused of federal offenses such as obstruction of justice, making false statements, narcotics- and weapons-related crimes, and child pornography.
We treat every client’s case as if it were our own. Our depth of experience and compassion allow us effectively to advocate for our clients, while helping them through what is invariably one of the most difficult times in their lives.
