A former prosecutor and a criminal defense attorney, Anthony has also handled State and Federal Criminal matters involving allegations of fraud, RICO, conspiracy, Shaken Baby Syndrome/Abusive Head Trauma, murder, bank robbery, drug possession, manufacturing and distribution, weapons offenses, and other violent offenses.

​
