Kansas City, Missouri, Corporate and Individual Computer Fraud Lawyer
Meeting Corporations’ and Executives' Legal Needs Since 1988
Kansas City Corporate White Collar Crime Defense Lawyer
Attorneys at Bradshaw Herrington, P.C., have been meeting the legal defense needs of corporations, executives and employees charged with violations of federal laws for more than 25 years. From our offices in Kansas City, we represent businesses, corporate boards and individual business leaders throughout Missouri and Kansas. Our criminal practice is much broader than simply trial of white collar criminal cases. We defend companies in regulatory investigations, assist companies in responding to grand jury subpoenas and administrative demands for production of documents including electronically stored information (ESI), conduct internal investigations, counsel clients on the benefits of compliance programs and prepare or revise compliance manuals.
Partners Tom Bradshaw and Dan Herrington have both been AV®-rated* under Martindale Hubbell’s peer review rating system for years, and have both been recently recognized by the Super Lawyers Missouri/Kansas publication. Tom Bradshaw has been certified by the National Board of Trial Advocacy in criminal trial advocacy for over 25 years, has been recognized annually as Best of the Bar by the Kansas City Business Journal from the inception of that award 11 years ago.
Our senior associate, Vanessa Riebli, has an accounting, as well as a law degree and practiced as an accountant before attending law school. She then practiced law as a state prosecuting attorney for nine years, heading up the economic crimes prosecution unit for the Johnson County, Kansas District Attorney’s office. Ms. Riebli is an integral part of our team, particularly when dealing with financial reporting and accounting issues.
Our associates, Mischa Bastin and Chris Howard, both practiced in the field of business litigation for major Kansas City law firms before joining us and provide us with considerable depth of experience in complex civil litigation.
We make extensive use of our paralegals, two of whom have been working with us for over 15 years and have over 40 years experience between them in the business litigation arena. We use retired FBI agents to interview witnesses and conduct field investigations. Particularly in the defense of white collar criminal business cases where depositions are not available, we find there is no substitute for a thorough field investigation including in-person interviews of key witnesses. We also work with a cadre of forensic accountants in dealing with issues such as calculation of loss, money laundering, financial reporting and accounting and forensic computer technologists in uncovering, organizing and preserving electronically stored information.
Our attorneys are recognized for our capacity to handle the most complex corporate and financial fraud defense cases.

We handle complex cases involving white collar crime and civil and regulatory actions:
Fraud: Our firm is recognized for our capacity to handle the intensive document review and financial investigations necessary for an effective defense of fraud charges against corporations and individuals, including mortgage fraud and bank fraud, embezzlement, health care fraud, violations of the Federal Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, tax fraud, and wire and mail fraud.
Antitrust defense : We have the professional and technical resources to successfully represent individuals and corporations against antitrust and price fixing allegations in civil and criminal proceedings.
Pretrial Diversion
During the Arthur Anderson debacle relating to the Enron collapse in 2002, thousands of innocent workers lost their jobs and careers when the Anderson national accounting firm was indicted on federal charges. The federal government is now more open to dealing with a company based on civil resolutions such as pre-trial diversion often accompanied by fines and substantial restrictions on the way a company does business. As your attorneys, we can find ways to help your corporation strengthen compliance programs, which may be required by the Government as an alternative to criminal charges.
Experienced Kansas City Attorneys
In addition, we represent corporations and executives in all matters relating to obstruction of justice, money laundering and forfeiture, insider trading and other federal felony offenses.
Whether you are seeking experienced criminal defense or effective representation in a complex civil business case or regulatory proceeding, contact our offices to schedule a consultation.
