Bernhoft Law Profiled in Conde Nast Portfolio

(November 1, 2008) Conde Nast Portfolio, one of America’s leading business magazines concentrating on financial leaders, profiled Bernhoft Law in its November 2008 issue.

The profile, penned by National Magazine Award finalist Amy Wallace, traced the meteoric rise of Bernhoft Law since its founding in 2001. Wallace’s lengthy article recounts the humble beginnings of the firm in a Milwaukee storefront and its ascent to stand as one of the nation’s premier boutique litigation firms specializing in white collar criminal defense and asset fraud recovery.

The article dissects the bold litigation strategy that has resulted in widely-reported jury trial acquittals for the actor Wesley Snipes, tax protestor Joseph Banister, and other defendants involved in complex litigation.

Here’s what the daily blog for American Lawyer magazine had to say about the Portfolio piece:

“When a jury acquitted actor Wesley Snipes in February, The New York Times said it was "the fourth major case in which the Justice Department failed to win convictions against prominent tax deniers." Turns out that three of those four defendants--including Snipes--were represented by a little known, iconoclastic, Milwaukee-based boutique called the Bernhoft Law firm.”
