Bribery

We’re all familiar with the story of the parent who gives the child candy to get him or her to behave. This form of bribery is innocent and perfectly legal – and may even prompt a smile from those who understand the plight of parenthood. Federal bribery charges, on the other hand, are nothing to smile about. They are serious charges with very serious consequences.

The law defines bribery as the act of giving something of value to influence the actions of a person in a public or legal role. That something of value could be a variety of things, from money to government contracts to votes on a controversial subject matter. In a federal bribery case, the giver and/or the recipient can be charged.

Penalties for a conviction typically entail a fine that represents three times the value of the bribe, along with a sentence of not more than 15 years in prison. If you are charged in a federal bribery case, you need an experienced federal criminal defense attorney from Conaway & Strickler, P.C., to help with your defense.

Our family wants to thank Conaway and Strickler for their professional and hard work in this case. We never thought this nightmare was going to be over so soon. With receiving a No Bill from the Grand Jury, my employer has given me my job back. This has been by far a true miracle. The R. Family
