The Law Offices of Lawrence H. Schoenbach is a boutique law firm focusing on criminal defense, international extradition, and corporate compliance. The firm represents individual and corporate clients in complex, high-risk legal matters, primarily in U.S federal courts throughout the nation and internationally. In collaboration with affiliate attorneys around the world, the firm has also advised and represented scores of clients based throughout the Americas, Europe, the Middle East and Asia.

Our litigation practice focuses on the defense of complex criminal cases, generally involving tax and securities fraud, racketeering, and political corruption. Most of the firm's work takes place at the federal level where it has handled literally hundreds of cases.

Although the firm's trial work focuses on the U.S. judicial system − having tried well in excess of 100 jury trials to verdict in federal courts throughout the country − the firm provides critical support to affiliate attorneys worldwide in cases with cross-border implications. 

Mr. Schoenbach, the firm's principal attorney, is a highly experienced trial attorney and litigator who has been practicing law for nearly 30 years in the areas of criminal defense, international extradition, and corporate compliance. He is the New York partner for the Institute for Tax and Commercial Law, a Swiss-based consulting firm that serves clients throughout the world. For the past 20 years, he has earned Martindale-Hubbell's prestigious AV rating, a peer ranking at the highest level of professional excellence.

Mr. Schoenbach is admitted to the bar in the State of New York and the U.S. Virgin Islands, as well as federal courts in the Eastern and Southern Districts of New York, the District of Puerto Rico, the United States Courts of Appeal for the First, Second and Third Circuits, and the Supreme Court of the United States.

The firm has offices in the U.S. Virgin Islands, Paris and Zurich as well as New York.
