RICO

The Racketeer Influenced & Corrupt Organizations Act ("RICO") is one of the most complex and frequently litigated of all federal statutes. RICO provides for both civil and criminal penalties, as well as treble damages, attorneys' fees and wide ranging injunctive remedies. PCP&B's attorneys have investigated and litigated a number of civil RICO cases involving a variety of predicate acts, including wire fraud, mail fraud, bankruptcy fraud, and access device fraud. In this context, two of our partners have represented major corporations and served as Special Counsel for a Chapter 7 Trustee in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Texas.
