Women Criminal Defense Attorneys: Sharon McCarthy Wins Acquittal for CEO in Tax Shelter Trial

New York City Criminal Lawyer Sharon L. McCarthy, of Kostelanetz & Fink, LLP, successfully represented former CEO Denis Field of the BDO Seidman accounting firm in a trial that concluded on October 31st with her client being acquitted of all charges.  Field was charged in 2009, along with lawyer co-defendant Paul Daugerdas, in the Southern District of New York in a tax-shelter fraud case.  Both men had been convicted in 2011, but were granted a new trial based on allegations of juror misconduct.

The second time around, Field was acquitted of all counts, while former lawyer Daugerdas was convicted once again. While the real victory belongs to her client, Sharon McCarthy got the privilege of hearing the two sweetest words any criminal lawyer can hear… Not Guilty.  There is nothing that compares!
