Attorney Information
Overview
Ben Schaefer is a skilled defense attorney who specializes in financial crimes. After focusing his studies on business law in school, Mr. Schaefer began his career working with the Securities and Exchange Commission in Washington, D.C.. Since entering private practice, he has increasingly focused on white collar offenses such as fraud, false pretenses, grand larceny, forgery, identity theft, and embezzlement. He has had several recent high-profile legal victories, including an appeal to Virginia's Court of Appeals, which he won on a previously uncited legal argument.
Prosecutors in Northern Virginia are very serious about theft and financial crimes and have expert attorneys who specialize in prosecuting those offenses. The good news is that financial crimes are extremely complicated, and can be difficult to prosecute against a defense attorney who understands the many defenses that may apply. Bottom line: if you are charged with a financial crime, you need a defense attorney who also specializes in this sort of case.
