Tarras Defense is a premier law firm dedicated to representing individuals and businesses in federal criminal cases, sophisticated white collar matters, and complex regulatory investigations. Founded by David Tarras—one of Florida’s most respected federal defense attorneys—the firm is built to handle high-stakes, sensitive matters with discretion, strategic precision, and a relentless commitment to excellence.

Tarras Defense regularly defends clients in matters involving healthcare fraud, securities and cryptocurrency fraud, money laundering, tax and bank fraud, wire and mail fraud, conspiracy, complex drug trafficking, firearms offenses, unlicensed money transmitting, and sanctions or export control violations. The firm also represents professionals, executives, and public figures in sexual misconduct investigations, multi-agency enforcement actions, and prosecutions carrying serious reputational, licensing, or collateral risks.

Beyond litigation, the firm provides highly specialized strategic advisory services to mitigate risk and prevent criminal exposure before it arises. This includes AML, KYC, OFAC compliance, tax enforcement, legal risk assessments, transaction structuring, and tailored compliance protocols—helping clients proactively navigate complex federal statutes.

Every case is managed with rigorous preparation, clear guidance, and a trial-ready approach, leveraging top investigators, experts, and specialized co-counsel to achieve exceptional outcomes. Based in Boca Raton, Tarras Defense serves clients throughout South Florida and across the U.S., frequently partnering with other elite counsel when serious federal exposure is at stake.
