Practice Areas Description

- White Collar Crime

Contact a Harrisburg/Philadelphia white collar crime defense attorney at Boyle, Autry & Murphy if you are facing state or federal charges involving fraud, corruption, or obstruction of justice. Our founding attorney, Dennis Boyle, formerly prosecuted financial fraud and public corruption cases in his days as a special assistant United States Attorney and a first assistant district attorney. His experience with the investigation and proof of white collar crimes allows him to see the problems with the prosecution's evidence and present the best possible defense on your behalf.

- Fraud

The federal government puts extensive resources into identifying, investigating and prosecuting fraud. At Boyle, Autry & Murphy, we have the resources and knowledge to meet prosecutors head-on. We understand that even unproved allegations of fraud can negatively affect you and your business, which is why we work hard to minimize exposure.

- Business Crime

At the law office of Boyle, Autry & Murphy, our attorneys work closely with businesses and individuals in investigations and criminal prosecutions involving business crimes. We assert our client's rights while maintaining open channels of communication with investigators, so we can work to keep investigations from going any further.

- RICO Act Defense

Federal investigations involving racketeering and money laundering typically take months, if not years, to complete. During this time, federal investigators usually monitor a suspect's financial transactions, internet activity, tax returns and personal contacts. They often use informants and, during the investigative process, offer deals to those willing to exchange testimony for a reduced charge or sentence. For these reasons, it is crucial for anyone under investigation for racketeering or money laundering to retain legal counsel. At the law office of Boyle, Autry & Murphy, our criminal defense attorneys assert and defend the interests and rights of those facing allegations of RICO violations and money laundering. Our goal is to pre-empt an investigation in its early stages by convincing investigators to look elsewhere in the absence of any real evidence against our client.

- Drug Crimes

The Harrisburg criminal defense attorneys at Boyle, Autry & Murphy have extensive experience representing state and federal defendants facing drug charges ranging from simple possession to nationwide and international conspiracies involving distribution and money laundering. Our firm has handled hundreds of drug cases, both at the state and federal levels achieving excellent results in the most serious of drug allegations. We routinely represent citizens of other countries, most notably Columbia and Mexico, charged in large scale investigation cases, as well as people charged as co-conspirators in alleged local drug distribution conspiracies. Typical charges at the federal level involve: conspiracy, trafficking or importation of controlled substances such as cocaine, heroin, ecstasy and methamphetamines.

- Forfeiture

When the federal or state government believes that you used your property to support a criminal activity, they can seize it. They won't just seize your drug paraphernalia; they may also seize your car, house, bank account, cash, computer and more. There are certain rights you could lose by doing nothing. At Boyle, Autry & Murphy, we have handled forfeiture cases since the forfeiture statute came into existence.

- International Crimes

American citizens charged with drug trafficking, money laundering, human trafficking or different kinds of financial fraud may be tried before an international tribunal or in the court of a foreign country. Similarly, foreign nationals indicted for crimes that involve the illegal transfer of assets, drugs or other goods across international boundaries may be prosecuted in a United States federal court. In both instances, how an individual is prosecuted and the procedures followed may be affected by treaties and international conventions. At the law office of Boyle, Autry & Murphy, our attorneys represent both United States citizens and foreign nationals facing international crimes charges in a U.S. court, international tribunal or foreign court.

We also bring military medical negligence claims for injured servicemen and servicewomen. Whether you are in the Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines or Coast Guard, we have the resources to defend you in your criminal case or support you in your military negligence case.

- Conspiracy

Conspiracy is a very broad term of art used to describe any form of aiding and abetting or planning to commit a crime in collaboration with other people. As with any crime, intent is an essential element of the crime of conspiracy. A strong defense of a person charged with a crime must include a close examination of the question of intent.

- Kidnapping

Presumably, everyone knows that kidnapping a child is a crime. However, there are situations when someone who allegedly took a child from his or her parents or school did so with no intention of doing so. These are but a few sample scenarios that may result in kidnapping charges. Even when kidnapping was intentional, there may be extenuating facts that can provide a strong defense of the person charged with the crime, such as mental illness. Whatever the facts, a suspect in a kidnapping case needs and deserves protection of his or her constitutional rights.

- Criminal Appeals - Post-Conviction Relief

In order to appeal a criminal conviction, there must be evidence indicating a defendant did not receive a fair trial. Typically, grounds for an appeal include procedural issues, such as mistakes on the part of a judge or malfeasance on the part of prosecutors and police. For example, if a judge fails to properly instruct the jury, if the prosecution fails to adhere to the rules of discovery, if police falsified evidence, or if a witness perjured themselves, there are reasons to believe the defendant did not receive a fair trial. At the law office of Boyle, Autry & Murphy, our attorneys represent clients on criminal appeals. We prepare motions for appeals while working with investigators, lab technicians, forensic experts and others to gather evidence in support of our client's case.

- Internal Corporate Investigations

Corporations frequently find that they are faced with allegations of corporate misconduct. How these allegations are investigated, and how the findings of the investigation are addressed by corporate officers and directors can impact the corporation's very existence and the freedom of corporate officers and/or directors.

- Money Laundering Defense

Money laundering involves taking money earned through illegal means and structuring recorded financial transactions to make it appear to have been legally earned. Historically, people have thought of money laundering to mean transactions in bank accounts that were used by drug dealers to hide earnings gotten through sales of illegal drugs.

- Sex Offenses

Having tried almost 150 cases to juries in his 20-year career, our founding attorney Dennis Boyle has the experience to help you confront and resolve sex crime allegations. At Boyle, Autry & Murphy, we handle sex offense cases.

- Public Corruption

Criminal charges of public corruption involve such alleged wrong doings as bribery, extortion and malfeasance in public office. Charges of public corruption are often brought against elected or appointed government officials or private individuals who are accused of bribery or conspiracy. Common examples of public corruption of recent years have included judges accused of taking kickbacks from prisons that received juveniles sentenced in those courts.
