According to a report released by the FBI on September 7, 2012, new and expectant parents need to be aware of new trends and precautions to protect their infant from abduction.

The FBI reports that while infant abductions are rare compared to other types of crime, they do happen.

For example, a woman 28 years of age was shot and killed in Texas by a 30 year-old-woman who then proceeded to kidnap the infant—only three days old—from the pediatric center.  Fortunately, the child was rescued only six hours later.

Criminals are now creating more elaborate crimes because simply walking out of a hospital with an infant is now difficult.  Most newborns have a security bracelet that will trigger an alarm unless removed.

A recent case in January of 2012 highlights the growing complexity of infant abductions.  According to the FBI, a 32-year-old woman in Florida formed a friendship with a younger mother on a social networking website.  The woman said she too has a newborn and the baby was in the hospital.  The new mother then invited the older woman to her home to spend the night, and while the new mother was in the shower the next morning, the older woman abducted the young infant.

The older woman deleted her profile from the social networking website, but she was still caught and arrested.  The baby was returned to the mother.

The FBI recommends that expectant and new parents take the following precautions to deter child abductors:

1.       New parents should not post colored balloons outside of home that announce a newborn or baby shower.

2.       Parent needs to stay particularly aware in public.  Be suspicious of someone who asks too many questions about your pregnancy and baby.

3.       Adjust your privacy settings for social networking sites so strangers cannot see your personal information.

4.       Report any suspicious behavior immediately.

5.       Women between the ages of 17 and 33 are most likely to abduct a newborn.

On November 1, 2012, the US Attorney’s Office for the District of Massachusetts announced the sentencing of Rezwan Ferdaus.  He pleaded guilty to “attempting to damage and destroy a federal building by means of an explosive and attempting to provide material support to terrorists.”  U.S. District Judge Richard G. Stearns sentenced Ferdaus to 17 years in prison and 10 years of supervised release.  

According to evidence presented at the trial, Ferdaus started designing and constructing detonation devices for improvised explosive devices (IED) starting in January of 2011.  He provided a total of 12 modified mobile phones to undercover FBI agents who he believed were members of al Qaeda and wanted to kill U.S. soldiers stationed overseas.

After the deliveries were made to undercover agents, Ferdaus asked later how many American soldiers the devices had killed.  He even made a 20-minute instructional video—which the undercover agents recorded—on how to make detonators out of cell phones.  

Ferdaus planned to fly a drone aircraft filled with grenades into the Pentagon used a GPS device.  He told the undercover agents he found a website that sold small, drone-like airplanes that could travel up to 100 mph.  He proceeded to travel to Washington, D.C. in May of 2011 to conduct surveillance and photographed the two buildings.  

In May and June of 2011, he gave specific instruction to the undercover agents on how to conduct the attacks.  He told the agents that his plan “ought to result in the downfall of this entire disgusting place.”  

In September of 2011, Ferdaus told the undercover agents to deliver three grenades, six automatic AK-47 assault rifles, and C-4 explosives to him at a storage facility he rented.  Ferdaus was arrested shortly after receiving the weapons and explosives.  

First Assistant U.S. Attorney Jack Pirozzolo stated, “As is evident from the facts of this case, Mr. Ferdaus posed a significant threat to the people of the United States.  His actions were self-initiated, deliberate, and dangerous.  He intended to unleash horrific acts of violence against the people of the United States both here and abroad.”

On November 7, 2012, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced that Henry Rosenau of Armstrong, British Columbia, was sentenced to 10 years in prison for smuggling massive amounts of drugs from Canada to the United States for a drug organization.  

The case was investigated by the ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI).  

Rosenau pled guilty to the drug smuggling charges after he was arrested during “Operation Frozen Timber” by HSI agents.  Rosenau admitted to flying load after load of marijuana to forested areas of Washington, Idaho, and Montana.  He had a private helipad on his secluded property, and he was able to land up to 5 helicopters in his front yard in order to load huge amounts of marijuana.  

Canadian law enforcement first contacted Rosenau in 2005 after he flew back into Canada.  The Royal Canadian Mounted Police found a satellite telephones, night vision goggles, a loaded handgun, and a GPS device with locations of known drug dealers in the cockpit of the helicopter.  

Rosenau and over 40 other defendants were arrested by federal agents during Operation Frozen Timber.  Federal agents retrieved more than 5,000 pounds of B.C. bud (marijuana from British Columbia) and 169 kilograms of cocaine.  

During Rosenau’s trial, prosecutors asked for over 15 years, but there was eventually a re-trial after the defense tried to eliminate the United State’s jurisdiction in the case.  

Special Agent in charge of HSI Seattle, Brad Bench, stated: “The remote forest areas that concealed Rosenau’s and his co-conspirators’ smuggling operation also provided law enforcement with the perfect platform to observe their criminal activity.  Rosenau was the air courier service to several transnational criminal organizations.”  

The investigation was the first of its kind and gave new techniques for federal agents to suppress border smuggling in between Canada and the United States.

Chatham, NJ—Criminal defense attorney Jack Arseneault knows that when he walks into a courtroom, he's already facing an uphill battle.  “My practice is primarily in white collar criminal defense,” he explained in a recent interview with laws.com.  “I would say there is an overwhelming presumption of guilt.”

For Arseneault, a military veteran who grew up in a low income family, defense came naturally.  “I always felt like the underdog, but this allowed me to gain a fair perspective of life,” he says.  “A passion for the law grew in me when I was exposed to the criminal justice system in the military.”

(More on News at LAWS.com, Contact Alberto for interviews “support@laws.com”)

From the beginning of his career—when out of 8 attorneys assigned to 8 defendants in a federal corruption case, his client was the only one to walk free—Arseneault had a high level of success in defending his clients.

While in his early career, Arseneault defended everyone from teachers to law enforcement officers he believed had been wrongly accused, his cases today tend to involve high-profile white collar crime.  Because of this, he has represented a number of celebrity defendants over the years.

These clients, according to Arseneault, present challenges for attorneys because of their overall priorities.  “I know they are frequently more concerned with public perception than with the defense of charges,” he says.  “The two factors are not conducive together—their overwhelming concern about how the case may affect their public image can sometimes overshadow their level of focus.  This concern may lead to frequent statements, made either by themselves or by their representatives, to change public perception.”

Plea bargains have been increasing in popularity over the last several decades, and Arseneault says that deciding whether or not to go to trial should be weighed carefully.  “If the offer doesn't significantly change the exposure to the client, you ought to defend the case by going to trial.  There are sometimes collateral consequences to the conviction that are so great that the client has little choice but to go to trial—like losing certain licenses and deportation.”

However, in the federal court system, Arseneault says that going to trial can be tough.  “Most of my work is in the federal courts.  Rarely do they indict unless they have what I call a headshot—in other words, if they really have them.  That, coupled with the federal sentencing guidelines, makes the plea bargain more attractive.”

Attorneys looking to practice criminal defense should be careful to avoid some common errors, according to Arseneault.  “Some of the biggest rookie mistakes happen when trial lawyers get too caught up thinking the case is about them, and not the client,” he says.  “New lawyers should also know how to talk to a jury, as opposed to talking at a jury.  Lastly, new lawyers often underestimate how high a level of preparedness is required to work on cases.”

Today, Arseneault can pick and choose his cases carefully.  “Having been in practice for many years, I allow myself to try cases I feel extremely passionate about.  I turn down clients that I know I can't zealously represent because of the nature of the allegations.  What I do offer my clients is passion and commitment.”

Dallas, TX—To new attorneys thinking of becoming criminal defense lawyers, John Teakell says it's best to start on the other side.  “From my perspective, it would be beneficial to be a prosecutor for at least a short period of time, to get a sense of how prosecution works and what a prosecutor's thought process is,” he told laws.com  in a recent interview.

Teakell knows what he's talking about.  After having a successful entry into the world of criminal law in the state prosecutor's office, he moved on to even greater success by spending over 12 years as a federal prosecutor.  By the time he had spent a large part of his legal career putting people behind bars, he says that he began to consider what his next move should be.

“I enjoyed my time as a prosecutor, but I felt it was time for me to move on,” he explains.  “I got to a certain age, where if I didn't do it, then I worried that I might regret it later on in life.”

(More on News at LAWS.com, Contact Alberto for interviews “support@laws.com”)

Teakell's experience prosecuting drug trafficking cases came in handy when it came time to defend people accused of similar crimes—people who sometimes had no idea that they had been used to traffic drugs until they were arrested.  “About a decade ago, another attorney and I represented a young woman who unbeknownst to her, a 'friend' was using her and her car to transport a significant amount of illegal drugs.” In this federal court case, he successfully got a not guilty verdict for his client. Although this success was a great achievement in his career he says  “each case is different, I don’t guarantee success with all cases ” 

Defense attorneys face consistent challenges when trying to work for their clients, and Teakell believes that many of those challenges come from the lack of resources that defense attorneys sometimes have at their disposal.  “Coming up with evidence can be a challenge, even if the defendant claims he or she is innocent,” he says.

While many people may think of criminal defense as a legal area that involves a great deal of trial work, Teakell says that trials are few and far between.  “The vast majority of cases at both the state and federal levels are mostly plea agreement cases, and not trial cases,” he says.  “You have to evaluate every case to see if the evidence is there.”
The proposed sentence in the plea agreement can also make a difference, according to Teakall.  Because federal cases are almost always decided in accordance with federal sentencing guidelines, Teakell says that these cases give attorneys an opportunity to evaluate the risks of trial more clearly: “If there isn't much difference between the offer and the sentence, then it may be worth going to trial—if there is a great difference, it may be an agreement case.”

Regardless of what the prosecution will be using as evidence against his clients, Teakell says that it's critical to make sure that every client is presented with their full range of options.  “Regardless of how weak or strong the government's cases are, I always try to explore other alternatives,” Teakell explains.  “It's always up to the client whether they are going to accept a plea agreement or not.”

Today, individuals facing white collar criminal charges in Texas and throughout the United States look to the Law Office of John R. Teakell  to provide a zealous defense. His practice primarily focuses in criminal law and securities background with over 25 years of courtroom experience. He has a thorough knowledge of both federal and state crimes and both federal and state court systems. To learn more about his practice visit, www.teakelllaw.com and www.txfederalcriminaldefense.com

New York, NY—After defending clients from criminal allegations in many high profile cases, 45 year old Joseph Tacopina says that it takes a combination of factors to make a successful criminal defense attorney.  “My formula to success is passion and hard work.  You have to work incredibly hard, and for me it took many years to even work into becoming a defense attorney.  I often spent days and nights putting myself into networking situations.”

In order to become a defense attorney who would know how to try cases, and with no connections to any attorneys, Tacopina—now described as the “Rocky Balboa of criminal defense law”—first became a prosecutor with the Brooklyn District Attorney's office.  When he opened up his own criminal defense practice, he knew he'd have to attract clients somehow, even in one of the most competitive markets in the country.

(More on News at LAWS.com, Contact Alberto for interviews “support@laws.com”)

“One way I decided to make a name for myself was to represent police officers who were charged for various crimes, for a very minimal fee, these were cases the public focused on,” Tacopina told laws.com in a recent interview.  “Knowing that these cases would be watched very carefully, I had enough confidence in myself to know that if I did my job well, some sense of recognition would evolve.”

Being a criminal defense attorney has meant defending some notorious defendants who've received extensive press coverage—most recently, the “rape cops” who were accused of raping a woman while on duty.  These high profile cases bring their own challenges to the practice of law, according to Tacopina.  Although this case brought its challenges, Tacopina won an acquittal for his clients on the most serious charges of rape and burglary.

“When someone takes on a high profiled case, you are fighting two battles.  One inside the courtroom, and the other outside,” he says.  “You have to make sure you balance the playing field as much as possible, because people are quick to jump to conclusions.”

Tacopina says that he has no interest in practicing other types of law.  “When I was first starting out as a lawyer, people kept telling me to work for a big corporate firm because according to them, that is where an  attorney like myself would be successful in.  But that wasn't what I was interested in—I would rather be working at a bar or coffee shop in Rome instead of working for a big corporate law firm.”

Still, the 21^st century has brought new challenges for defense lawyers across the United States.  “The internet has been used as a tool for those involved in the trial to do their own research, which is prohibited and wrong because you don't know if you are getting the correct information,” says Tacopina.  

While in some high profile cases, juries are sequestered, sequestration is relatively uncommon, and jurors who go home can do things they shouldn't, according to Tacopina.  “As a defense attorney, all I can do is hope that the jurors follow the regulations, but unfortunately there is a lot of information out there, and it is a challenge to monitor them.”

Joseph Tacopina has been recognized for his hard work by the most prestigious publications of the country. The New York Times wrote  "Mr. Tacopina is to defense bar what Donald Trump is to real estate." The Wall Street Journal ranked him among a group of top criminal defense lawyers.  But despite having achieved numerous honors and recognitions he says he doesn't need to be in the spotlight to be worth giving it his all.  “When I work on a case, it automatically becomes my most important case, because I have that person's life in my hands.  If you don't take a case seriously, then you aren't going to be successful and you really shouldn't be doing this.  This is not to be taken lightly.  If an attorney only starts focusing on cases that are high profile, then they are really failing in their obligations.”

Today, Joseph Tacopina is senior partner at The Law Offices of Tacopina Seigel & Turano, P.C. based out of midtown Manhattan that focuses on criminal defense, civil, and securities litigation.  His civil practice has succeeded in numerous personal injury, commercial and employment litigation cases.  To learn more about Joseph Tacopina and his practice please visit www.tacopinalaw.com. 

New York, NY—While some people only realize they want to be part of the criminal law world once they're already in law school, trial has been in defense attorney Matthew Galluzzo's blood for much longer.

“I can remember as a fifth grader organizing a criminal trial for a classmate who had committed some perceived infraction on the playground,” he told laws.com in a recent interview.  “I assumed the role of prosecutor, grabbed a witness, and drafted a couple other kids to be the judge and the defense attorney.”

(More on News at LAWS.com, Contact Alberto for interviews “support@laws.com”)

Galluzzo's first foray into the world of criminal law didn't work out: “Unfortunately, my trial lasted about two minutes before the other kids got confused and distracted and ran off.  But I think back to that vivid memory and laugh—maybe I was born to be a criminal lawyer?  To be sure, I always loved the drama of the courtroom.”

After holding a job at the Manhattan District Attorney's office after graduation, Galluzzo started his own firm with a partner.  “My first 'big case' was my first trial as a defense attorney,” he explains.  “I was representing a man accused of robbery, and his criminal record was so significant that he was facing a potential life sentence on conviction.”

Instead of serving life, the man served just two years—“My client wept tears of joy, and I felt a unique combination of joy, relief, and exhaustion.  It was my first trial as a defense attorney, but it still remains one of the real highlights of my professional career.”  He and the client remain friends to this day, corresponding with letters and having lunch together from time to time.

Today, criminal defendants face a major challenge due to the underfunding of public defense attorneys, according to Galluzzo.  “Their work is undervalued and their agencies are simply underfunded,” he says.  “To me, the criminal justice system would be much more fair if we hired more qualified public defenders and paid them better.”

Galluzzo offers a unique piece of advice for would-be criminal defense attorneys.  “I speak and write French fluently, and it has proven to be an enormous advantage to me in terms of winning clients,” he says.  “I think foreign language skills are seriously underappreciated in this business, and I highly recommend that anyone interested in becoming a criminal defense attorney either develop skills in a second language or improve upon existing ones.”

In his firm, Galluzzo says that he chooses to represent clients based on more than just the bottom line.  “Though I can't afford to only represent people who can't pay reasonable retainers, I'd honestly rather represent a reliable and level headed client without much money than defend an obnoxious and irrational client with a lot of money.”

When trying to decide whether to go to trial, Galluzzo says that it's his opinion that innocent people should never take a plea deal, regardless of the circumstances.  “Otherwise, I think it can be a good idea to go to trial if the defendant has a reasonable chance of winning, or if the defendant does not have too much to lose.”

The secret of happy attorneys, according to Galluzzo, is getting great partners.  The two other attorneys at Galluzzo's firm, he says, “give me tremendous confidence in our work.  We really enjoy each other's company, and I consider themselves to be my brothers at this point.  Also, we bring different skills and perspectives to the table, and that gives our firm an unusual amount of flexibility and versatility.  I feel very fortunate to be part of such a great team, and I know that I would not be as happy or as successful as a solo practitioner.”

Matthew Galluzzo is an aggressive and accomplished litigator who cares deeply about his clients. He has experience representing high-profile clients in high-stakes matters and gets outstanding results under pressure. His clients often rave about him and routinely refer their friends and loved ones to him. He specializes primarily in criminal defense, appeals, civil rights, and civil litigation.

Waukesha, WI—Anthony Cotton first realized that he wanted to become a criminal defense attorney while working thousands of miles from home.

“It happened when I was working in East Africa investigating war crimes,” he told laws.com in a recent interview.  I realized how powerful the state could be when prosecuting someone for a crime.  In the United States, there is more of an impact when the government is prosecuting someone for a crime.”

(More on News at LAWS.com, Contact Alberto for interviews “support@laws.com”)

Cotton says that criminal defense is in his blood: “Both my mother and stepfather practice criminal law.  I grew up witnessing how injustice could happen and how innocent people can be prosecuted.  I practice criminal law for the right reasons, to defend those wrongly accused of a crime.”

Defendants in the United States, according to Cotton, face major obstacles that are largely economic and financial in nature.  “Their biggest challenge is to make sure there is sufficient funding available to hire a defense attorney,” he says.  “Today, there is a lack of funding at the state and federal level to provide those accused of a crime with a proper defense.  This causes defendants to face delays in their cases.”

Starting out as a criminal defense attorney isn't easy, says Cotton.  “Any law student who wants to practice criminal law has to be prepared to work 100 hours a week.  Be prepared to have a very limited social life during the formative years of your practice.  In the beginning, you're earning a very small amount of money and working long hours.  Sometimes you have to go see clients in jail and be available 24 hours a day.  Crime doesn't take a break!”

Justice matters to Cotton, who says that he'll sometimes reduce his fees significantly for clients accused of disorderly conduct.  “I take a lot of cases for people who are charged with disorderly conduct because of things they may have said.  To me, it's wrong to charge someone based on the content of their speech, because they are entitled to exercise their right to freedom of speech.”

To Cotton, the most rewarding experience as a criminal defense attorney is successfully getting an acquittal, especially for a high profile case.  “Just recently,” he says, “I resolved a case that lasted 3 years, for a man who was falsely accused of animal abuse and sexual assault.  We were able to clear him of all charges, with no criminal conviction.  It was extremely rewarding, because my client was unfairly prosecuted based on weak evidence.”

The vast majority of cases today end with plea deals, not trials, and Cotton understands why.  “Nine times out of ten, the prosecution has more resources than the defense,” he says.  “Lack of financial resources can be another reason why a defendant may choose to accept a plea deal.”

Additionally, according to Cotton, some defendants simply feel overwhelmed by the charges.  “Today, there are myriad crimes a prosecutor can charge someone with—and it makes it extremely risky to go to trial.  Defendants feel hopeless at times.”

However, Cotton says that this is all the more reason to make sure that if someone is charged with a crime, they find the right lawyer: “The best attorneys I know,” he says, “do not believe there is a hopeless case.”

Boston, MA—After struggling through his first year of law school, criminal defense attorney David Yannetti remembers questioning whether he wanted to be a lawyer at all.  In his second year, however, everything changed—leading to a career in which he'd end up being named one of America's best lawyers by U.S. News and World Report.

“I entered and won my school's mock trial competition,” he explained in a recent interview with laws.com.  “I became enamored with the action of the courtroom.  I was then accepted for a summer intern position at the district attorney's office and tried cases there as a student.  I knew then that criminal law was my future.”

(More on News at LAWS.com, Contact Alberto for interviews “support@laws.com”)

During his first ten years in the courtroom, Yannetti practiced as a prosecutor—a role he says has prepared him for the many years he's spent as a criminal defense attorney since.  During one prominent early case in his prosecuting days, he recalls, “I received approval to hire forensic experts, to purchase elaborate chalks for courtroom demonstrations, and to travel from Boston to California to interview potential witnesses.  I was limited only by my own creativity and imagination.”

This, he says, should impart a lesson to criminal defense attorneys: “The state has a lot of resources to put into these prosecutions, so we have to work doubly hard to defend cases.”

Yannetti has defended a number of high-profile cases, including some broadcast live on Court TV and New England Cable News.  He has also appeared as a legal analyst on major news networks including CNN and Fox News, and says that his proudest moment as an attorney was overturning a conviction of a mentally handicapped man who had been wrongfully convicted and imprisoned for 16 years.  “The case was sent back for a retrial.  I then achieved a 'not guilty' verdict, and my client went home to his mother,” Yannetti recalls.  “There aren't too many professions in which you can make that much of a difference in someone else's life.”

The last 13 years have changed the criminal defense world significantly, according to Yannetti.  “The internet, smartphones, and instant access to information have hindered our quest to enforce the presumption of innocence in the courtroom,” he explains.  “Jurors are not supposed to do any independent research on the cases they are deciding, but I am firmly convinced that the temptation is too great.”

Yannetti told laws.com that attorneys who are getting started out in the criminal defense profession should not be afraid to take risks.  “Do not shy away from trials or evidentiary motion hearings,” he cautions.  “We all make mistakes when we're cutting our teeth as trial lawyers.  The upside to our mistakes is that they usually turn out to be our most effective learning tool.  The biggest rookie mistake to avoid is being trial-shy—you cannot be afraid to fail!”

While many attorneys encourage clients to take a plea bargain or go to trial, Yannetti says that it's important for lawyers to disclose and listen, rather than pushing their clients into one choice or the other.  “The decision about whether to take a case to trial or to take a plea deal is the client's—and the client's alone,” he says.  “A defense lawyer's job is to properly advise his client of the possible risks and rewards of a trial, and to present the plea options to the client.”

New York, NY—As one of the best defense attorneys in New York City, Glenn A. Garber doesn't just take cases that will win him accolades.  Instead, he often finds himself representing people accused of high-profile, shocking crimes.

“In the early 90s, I represented a Japanese national named Yu Kikamura who was convicted of attempting one of the first terrorist acts on American soil,” Garber told laws.com in a recent interview.  “My work focused on a post-conviction attack, which included a claim supported by a Department of Justice study that the FBI had fabricated evidence against my client.”

(More on News at LAWS.com, Contact Alberto for interviews “support@laws.com”)

The case, he says, taught him an important lesson.  “I learned that the criminal justice system has a high tolerance for government misconduct when the criminal defendant is unpopular or accused of a heinous crime.”  Garber also represented Mahmoud Abouhalima, the man convicted of the first World Trade Center attack in 1993.

Garber got his start working for the Legal Aid Society after law school graduation.  “I took great pride in helping indigent criminal defendants seek justice in a hostile environment that only pays lip service to the constitutional rights of the accused,” he says.  “I never looked back.  Whether my clients are indigent or not, I believe there is no greater calling than championing the rights of the accused.”

Today, to continue his work with indigent defendants, Garber runs a not for profit organization called the Exoneration Initiative.  The Exoneration Initiative has been responsible for freeing innocent people from prison who had been accused of crimes like murder and rape.

While DNA evidence is often used to exonerate prisoners, Garber believes that many more innocent people are behind bars who have no such evidence to rely on.  “Even though DNA exists in less than 10 percent of criminal cases,” he says, “it is difficult for courts to accept non-DNA claims of innocence, especially in the post-conviction setting.”

What courts should do, according to Garber, is “apply the lessons from the DNA exonerations to the non-DNA cases.  This starts with a cultural change—a willingness to take a second look at cases on the merits, instead of summarily casting them aside on procedural grounds.”  This is critical to people convicted of offenses, who generally can only appeal their convictions if there was a procedural error at trial, rather than when new exculpatory evidence comes to light.

The Exoneration Initiative has taken on major government players when trying to exonerate wrongly convicted people, including the NYPD.  “We recently won an Article 78 proceeding against the police department in a complex FOIL litigation,” Garber says.  “The case involves suppressed exculpatory evidence that can free a man who has been incarcerated for 18 years for a murder we believe he did not commit.  NYPD is appealing, and we are still fighting for release of the evidence.”

Garber currently divides his time between his private practice and the pro bono work of the Exoneration Initiative.  While defending some of society's least-loved people can be a difficult and demanding job, Garber says there's nothing he'd rather do.  “Justice is the exception, not the rule—and it is only achieved if you fight for it.” To learn more about Glenn Garber and his practice please visit: https://www.glenngarber.com/
