Robert Luskin Biography

Robert Luskin is one of the most popular and richest Attorney who was born on January 21, 1950 in Chicago, Illinois, United States. Robert D. Luskin (born January 21, 1950) is an attorney and partner in the Washington office of the international law firm of Paul Hastings, LLP. He specializes in White-collar crime and federal and state government investigations. Luskin is also an Adjunct Professor of Law at the Georgetown University Law Center, where he teaches a course in Global Anti-Corruption. Formerly, Luskin taught Advanced Criminal Law and Labor Racketeering at the University of Virginia School of Law.

In 1997, US Attorney Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island accused Luskin of “willful blindness” for accepting $505,125 in gold bars as well as Swiss Wire transfers of $169,000 from Stephen Saccoccia, after Luskin represented Saccoccia post-conviction. Whitehouse argued that Saccoccia’s payments to Luskin were related to Saccoccia’s broad money-laundering scheme and that the money should be returned to the government. The Court of Appeals for the First Circuit considered Whitehouse’s forfeiture claims in two separate opinions and both times ruled that there was no basis to seek forfeitures from Saccoccia’s attorneys.

In 2004, Luskin successfully represented the Assessor for Orange County, California in a Constitutional tax case involving $5–8 billion.

In 1995, Luskin successfully represented a sitting federal judge in a criminal appeal to the Supreme Court, resulting in a landmark case narrowing the construction of the general perjury statute.
