I was investigated by the IRS for evading corporate and personal income taxes over a four year period. Mr. Kuniansky negotiated a plea of guilty on my behalf to one count of the seven count indictment, with the government dismissing the remaining counts. Mr. Kuniansky did not sugar coat things for me.... He told me point blank that I was going to jail and the chances for me getting probation or home detention were about the same as winning the lottery. Nevertheless, I had a great deal of faith in him. He prepared an excellent Sentencing Memorandum and argued forcefully for a sentence of probation. My prayers were answered when the Judge sentenced me to home confinement, permitting me to work and perform other essential activities. I am extremely grateful for the job that Mr. Kuniansky did, and I would highly recommend him. A.L.

I am a criminal defense attorney in Houston, Texas. I tried my first federal jury trial in 1995. It was a multi-defendant drug case that lasted 7 weeks. Richard Kuniasnky represented a co-defendant in the case. He had already been practicing law for a long period of time and was very experienced. ... About 3 weeks into the trial, Mr. Kuniansky filed for a mistrial of the case based on prosecutorial misconduct. Everyone in the courtroom - except the prosecutor - was mesmerized by the power and eloquence of his argument. The Judge granted the motion. I have never forgotten the look of joy and utter relief on his client's face. Since that time, Mr. Kuniansky and I have worked on various cases together and I have always found him to do an excellent job in representing his clients. If I ever get in trouble, he will be the first (and probably only) attorney I call. There is no better attorney in Houston.

The IRS investigated me for several years, claiming that I had committed tax fraud by not reporting my income from the sales of an international business. In actuality, the IRS’ own rules said the income was not taxable. However, that didn’t stop them from investigating me all over the world for year...s. They finally threatened to indict me. Richard Kuniansky represented me in the investigation. He brought in an international tax expert to prepare a position letter that the gain was not taxable. He methodically and concisely prepared my case. He then met with government lawyers and convinced them not to indict me. I was never charged. My IRS cases were resolved fair and clean. I would highly recommend Mr. Kuniansky in criminal tax matters. RH

Many years ago, I was charged with misappropriating a large sum of money. Although I foolishly did it, which I very much regret, I was amazed at the harshness of the Federal system. One morning, I awoke to a Federal S.W.A.T. team with shotguns banging on my door. Had they called me on the phone and t...old me to turn myself in, I would have gladly done so. I was then thrown in jail. The government sought to detain me without bond, claiming I was a flight risk. That was completely absurd. Nevertheless, the Magistrate-Judge bought into the government’s nonsense and ordered me detained without bond until trial. I hired Mr. Richard Kuniansky to represent me. He worked tirelessly over the Christmas holidays appealing my detention order, and was successful in getting me released. He ultimately negotiated a very fair plea bargain on my behalf. I would highly recommend him.

Many years ago, I was indicted for several counts of bankruptcy fraud and lying to an FBI agent. I was innocent, but that didn’t seem to matter. Mr. Richard Kuniansky represented me and tried the case before a jury. He was an outstanding lawyer, and tore the FBI agent to pieces, showing that her vers...ion of what happened could not have been true. I was acquitted of all charges. I would highly recommend him.
