I found out that my employer was performing criminal business practices. As precaution I hired a lawyer to review the case to confirm that i could not be linked to the employer's criminal acts. Can these criminal lawyer fees be deducted?

No, they can not be deducted.
In past tax years, attorney fees were a miscellaneous itemized deduction subject to the 2% rule.
However this year the 2% miscellaneous itemized deduction has been eliminated.
