Dallas Criminal Defense Attorney John Teakell Featured in Forbes

DALLAS, Feb. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Noted Dallas white-collar criminal defense attorney and former federal prosecutor John R. Teakell is featured in the March 2010 issue of Forbes magazine in an article highlighting his experiences as a prosecutor and the cases that helped him become one of the top criminal defense attorneys in Texas.

Mr. Teakell is highlighted as the only white-collar criminal defense attorney in the magazine's special focus on the Dallas/Fort Worth legal market. Mr. Teakell is lauded for a resume that "uniquely qualifies him to understand the criminal justice labyrinth of issues in complex white-collar criminal matters," including government corruption cases, drug trafficking and money laundering, and tax evasion allegations.

"I understand how the process works," Mr. Teakell says. "When you have that insight into how an investigation unfolds, it helps you get in ahead of the curve before there is an indictment to try to derail an investigation or at least mitigate a client's exposure."

Prior to opening his own firm, Mr. Teakell spent two years as Senior Trial Counsel for the Southeast Regional Office of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. He also served more than 12 years as an Assistant U.S. Attorney in Dallas and Puerto Rico, where he handled high-profile cases involving bank fraud, drug trafficking and money laundering.

"I have handled most of the federal criminal issues you'll ever see," says Mr. Teakell. "As a former prosecutor, I provide a perspective clients won't get with many other lawyers, and an understanding of all the avenues available to get their case resolved."

The Forbes story is the latest recognition for Mr. Teakell, who also was named by the Association of Trial Lawyers of America as one of the Top 100 Trial Lawyers in Texas. He also has been named to the Texas Super Lawyers list in Texas Monthly based on his work in white-collar criminal defense, placing him among the top 5 percent of Texas white-collar criminal defense attorneys.

The Law Office of John R. Teakell delivers proven representation for companies and individuals in a variety of white-collar and other criminal defense matters, including grand jury proceedings and internal investigations involving allegations of fraud, bribery, embezzlement, insider trading, stock option backdating, tax evasion and public corruption.
