What is Money Laundering?
In order to convict someone for money laundering in the United States, the prosecution must show that the defendant concealed money in order to cover up the source, nature, location, and identity of the illegally obtained funds. This does not mean putting the money in a safe or another hidden place. Rather, money laundering involves depositing money in a bank or business to make it appear to come from a legitimate source.
The government must also prove that the money originated from a specific federal offense, such as those mentioned above. If the funds did not come from criminal activity, the prosecution cannot obtain a money laundering conviction.

What Are the Penalties for Money Laundering?
What Is the Maximum Sentence for Money Laundering?
Under federal law (18 U.S.C. §1956), money laundering is punishable by a maximum prison term of 20 years. The greater the amount of money involved in the alleged offense, the longer the prison sentence and the higher the fines.

“Mr. Jenkins saved my husbands life.”
Mr. Jenkins saved my husbands life. He was facing 15-20 years in the federal system. He received 15 month. No strings attached, no deals. His knowledge of the law and court process was nothing less then amazing. As a wife on the outside trying to handle family life and secure the best lawyer for my husband he really made me feel at ease. Great communication, loyal and overall awesome lawyer. Hope nobody that I know ever has to be put in the position as I was in. But if so I have him on speed dial for them. Thanks again Mr. Jenkins.- L.W. -

“Top-notch legal representation.”
I am beyond grateful to have had Mr. Robert Jenkins as my attorney! After being charged with a crime last April, I hired Mr. Jenkins to defend me, and he exceeded all expectations.

Mr. Jenkins' expertise, dedication, and commitment to his clients are truly exceptional. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking top-notch legal representation. Thank you again, Mr. Jenkins!- L.G. -
“Simply masterful.”
- D.D.C.In November 2024, I watched Mr. Jenkins cross-examine the Commonwealth of Virginia's most important witness against his client. (This was a high-profile case, and the media reports made it appear that his client had no chance to win.) The witness was a law enforcement officer.
Because I cross-examine people for a living and I study my craft, I know stellar work.
Mr. Jenkins's cross-examination was spectacular. He torpedoed the Commonwealth's case. He turned that witness into a witness for his client. Simply masterful.
