Counterfeited Goods

While most people would assume that the New York trade in counterfeited goods is limited to designer shoes and handbags, this area is in fact much broader and can include a range of household items and high street products. Not only that but it is often extremely difficult to tell where some products are genuine or fake goods . Those who found to be knowingly trading or distributing goods of this nature are advised to seek experienced legal advice immediately, as the penalties for this crime are quite severe.

Experienced lawyers such as those found at our New York based firm can mount an effective defense for those who are being investigated in relation to this issue. Cases relating to the sale and distribution of fake goods can be quite complex and difficult to prove. While it can be easily established if the goods themselves are genuine, it is less straightforward to determine if the seller himself was aware of the fact that he was trading in counterfeited goods. Therefore a skilled attorney can establish the innocence of his client by mounting a well researched and legally sound defence.

The trade in counterfeited goods is quite lucrative, and often the sellers of these items may not be aware of their true origins. Fake goods such as computer equipment and software, electronics, beauty products, food stuffs, and clothing are now manufactured to such standards that it is often very difficult to tell that they have been counterfeited. Even car and bicycle parts may be counterfeited.

Those who are accused of dealing in counterfeited goods may often be cleared of these charges, or the investigation may be halted prior to charges being filed, if legal representation is sought in good time. Our lawyers are familiar with every aspect of fake goods cases and can handle your case efficiently and effectively for a very low fee.
