Columbus Partner Michael Hunter and co-counsel recently secured a non-incarceration sentence and a $1.5 million reduction in the proposed fine for a New Jersey businessman in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio.
In a federal tax fraud case involving more than $2.5 million in alleged IRS loss, Mike and co-counsel secured a resolution of the case with a plea to a single count of tax conspiracy and a significantly reduced sentencing guideline range.
