Commodity Trading Charge Defense Lawyers

Commodities trading crimes often get investigated and prosecuted in USA. Dodd-Frank has strengthened the CFTC. The CFTC is the federal enforcement division, which is charged with enforcing the laws under the CEA. The CFTC leads all of the investigations related to illegal trades of commodities, futures and swaps. The CFTC Works with federal, state, and foreign, government to ensure the law is being enforced and illegal trades are being punished.

If you are facing an investigation, or fear a CFTC subpoena may be coming – then our attorneys can help. The Spodek Law Group has over 40 years of experience, and our Commodity Trading Charge Defense Lawyers can help you with any legal issues you may be facing. It’s important to remember these charges are more than just civil penalties. CFTC investigations can result in criminal prosecution. If means if an investigation is launched, you need an experienced defense attorney on your side who can limit the effect of any criminal charges against you – and more importantly, help you through the administrative process.

The administrative process for commodities trading offenses can result in monetary penalties, including but not limited to: courts freezing assets, payments of restitutions, seizure of profits, and even jail. More importantly, your livelihood is at jeopardy since any commodities trading offense can result in the suspension, restriction, or even revocation, of your right to trade.
