Laura K. Gasiorowski, Esq.

Laura K. Gasiorowski is a Managing Partner of Stahl Gasiorowski Criminal Defense Lawyers, P.C., a boutique criminal defense firm established in 1997 focused exclusively on representing clients in complex white-collar criminal litigation, regulatory enforcement actions and corporate investigations. She has practiced criminal defense law for over 30 years and litigates in federal and state court, and on both trial and appellate levels. Admitted to practice in New Jersey, New York, and Louisiana, Ms. Gasiorowski has handled cases in federal district courts across the country.

Ms. Gasiorowski focuses on defending individuals charged with the most serious federal crimes in a wide range of matters, including complex frauds (mail fraud, healthcare fraud, wire fraud, bank fraud, securities fraud, mortgage fraud and tax fraud); public corruption (bribery, honest services fraud); money laundering, RICO prosecutions, narcotics trafficking, kidnapping, and capital murder cases; racketeering; CFAA prosecutions and insider trading. She also represents individuals and corporate clients in investigations and regulatory actions by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), DOJ, and other agencies. Ms. Gasiorowski frequently represents professionals including lawyers, doctors and accountants who also face professional discipline and state board investigations as the result of criminal investigations. Ms. Gasiorowski also represents college and university students and faculty facing disciplinary charges due to alleged criminal conduct, or violation of harassment and discrimination policies or the school’s Code of Conduct.

In each matter, from initial investigation to appeal, Ms. Gasiorowski brings to bear detailed investigation, aggressive motion litigation, and a recognized talent for tackling novel and complex issues in advocating for her clients. Whether at trial, arguing an appeal, or negotiating a plea, she is relentless in finding ways to undermine the government’s facts and legal arguments to protect her clients from the significant long-term consequences of a felony conviction. Acutely aware of the long-term collateral consequences of even a minor criminal conviction for her clients, Ms. Gasiorowski advocates on their behalf as if they were family members. With a background in sentencing mitigation on several capital cases, Ms. Gasiorowski is particularly adept at successfully negotiating favorable plea resolutions and devising creative and effective sentencing presentations with the use of investigation, expert reports, and the client’s own unique and defining personal characteristics and history.
