Criminal Law

About Anton Vialtsin

I handled nearly one hundred federal criminal cases from initial client interviews through sentencing. These cases required an in-depth knowledge of the Federal Sentencing Guidelines and the Federal Criminal Codes and Rules. Over a dozen of the federal cases I managed involved individuals charged with the importation and distribution of controlled substances all punishable by ten-year minimum mandatory sentence. Considering that the Southern District of California is a border district and one of the busiest in the country, I defended many individuals charged with transportation and harboring of illegal aliens, misuse of a passport, and illegal entry into the United States. Further, I worked on several transportation of illegal aliens cases where the transportation resulted in death, triggering the possibility of the death penalty. Additionally, I worked on a number of cases involving individuals charged with complex wire and mail fraud violations, aggravated identity theft, and theft of public property. Aside from criminal defense, a fraction of my practice deals with complex international business disputes and other civil suits. In my most prominent case, the bank filed suit in California seeking enforcement of a $30 million judgment from Russia under the Uniform Foreign-Country Money Judgments Recognition Act. The Court granted summary judgment in favor of my client because the bank failed to establish sufficient service of the Russian lawsuit as required by California law. This case was unique because the bank's employees and experts on Russian jurisprudence resided in Russia and were unable to come to United States for depositions. Over the course of litigation that lasted nearly two years, I became deeply familiar with Russian banking laws and local civil procedure rules. The bank is currently appealing the ruling in the California Court of Appeals, and I continue to defend my client on appeal.
