Mike Magner, a current Jones Walker partner on the white collar defense team, together with the assistance of TC Wicker, a former Jones Walker lawyer, received an acquittal for their client, New Orleans 2nd City Judge Ernestine Anderson-Trahan, regarding charges of tax fraud on February 14, 2023. US federal prosecutors brought charges against Judge Anderson-Trahan, but after the prosecutors failed to prove that Judge Anderson-Trahan acted willfully, the judge entered a judgement of acquittal. Mike was quoted in the article “An 'unrefined' case led to acquittal of 2nd City Judge Ernestine Anderson-Trahan, document shows” published by NOLA.com, which discusses the inconsistencies in the prosecutors’ case, lack of evidence, and Anderson-Trahan’s upstanding reputation as a judge.
