A battle-tested, four-phase defense architecture designed to dismantle federal cases before they reach a courtroom — and win decisively when they do.
Phase One
The moment you receive a target letter, subpoena, or learn you are under investigation, the clock starts. Every communication you have — with colleagues, family, or on digital platforms — can be used against you. Our first action is to immediately place ourselves between you and the government.
We contact the prosecuting agency directly, assert your rights, and begin controlling the flow of information. This early intervention has resulted in declinations to prosecute in numerous cases before a single charge was ever filed.
Phase Two
We deploy our in-house team of former government forensic accountants and blockchain analysts to conduct a parallel investigation — mirroring exactly what the prosecution is doing, but working in your defense.
By understanding the government's evidence before they present it, we identify weaknesses, alternative explanations, and exculpatory data that can fundamentally change the trajectory of your case.
Phase Three
The majority of our victories are won before a jury is ever seated. Through aggressive motion practice, we challenge the legal and factual foundations of the government's case at every turn.
We file motions to suppress illegally obtained evidence, challenge jurisdictional overreach, attack the sufficiency of indictments, and seek dismissal on constitutional grounds. This relentless pre-trial pressure often forces the government to reconsider its position entirely.
Phase Four
Our preferred outcome is always the one that best protects your freedom, assets, and reputation — achieved with maximum discretion. In many cases, this means a declination to prosecute, a civil resolution in lieu of criminal charges, or a negotiated outcome that avoids public exposure.
When trial is necessary, our attorneys are among the most formidable in the courtroom. We prepare every case as if it will go to trial, which is precisely why so many never do.
Three core principles that separate Cyrus Blake Winslow from conventional criminal defense.
Our attorneys prosecuted these exact cases for the government. We know every tactic, every shortcut, and every weakness in the federal playbook.
We treat blockchain evidence and digital forensics as a primary battleground, not an afterthought. Our tech capabilities match or exceed the government's.
Financial crime investigations move at the speed of digital transactions. Our 24/7 availability ensures we are always one step ahead of the prosecution.
