The firm of Broden & Mickelsen specializes in the aggressive representation
of individuals and businesses charged with various types of fraud and white
collar offenses in federal court. White collar and fraud charges in federal
court usually result in multi-count indictments. The Sentencing Guidelines used
in federal court take into account the amount of loss that is alleged to have
occurred in determining whether a prison sentence is warranted upon the
conviction for a fraud or white collar offense. A fraud loss of as little as
$30,000 could result in a prison sentence for a person convicted at trial of a
fraud or white collar offense even if that person has no previous criminal
record.
In order to successfully defend against white collar allegations, it is
essential that an attorney work closely with a client and that the defense
conduct a full investigation into the facts and allegations. We are committed
to spending the time necessary to fully learn the intricacies of complex white
collar cases and we have significant trial experience and appellate experience
dealing with these type of charges. We also will work with a variety of
investigators in order to fully investigate the facts of a client's case. Even
in cases that ultimately result in a guilty plea, we devote countless hours to
ensuring that a client's sentencing guidelines are calculated as leniently as
possible under the law.
We are proud of our accomplishments in this area. For example, our firm
successfully defended an environmental chemist who was charged with numerous
counts of submitting fraudulent lab results in a seven week federal court
trial.

executive charged in a complex financial fraud case involving an alleged loss
of over $6 million despite the fact that our client's own brother testified
against him.
