Being investigated for fraud, or any federal white collar crime can be isolating, stressful and disorienting. Friends may abandon you at the first sign of an investigation, colleagues may run for cover and protect themselves, and you undoubtedly are in unfamiliar territory. There is simply no room for mistakes, and no time for inexperience. Our law firm is here to offer guide you through the jungle and to protect your reputation. Our primary focus is defending clients accused of both criminal fraud and civil fraud.
Regardless of the type, each fraud includes a broad and ambiguous accusation of a "scheme to defraud." Federal business crimes prosecutions or fraud cases can be extremely complex and document intensive. Unlike other types of more traditional crimes, individuals accused of committing federal white collar crimes often do not know that they are under investigation until very late in the game. The government agencies can spend a year or more investigating these cases before they become public through interviews, grand jury subpoenas, search warrants or criminal charges.
It is important to hire a skilled federal white collar crime attorney as soon as you suspect trouble or see any "red flags" that a criminal investigation may be underway. The earlier we get involved, the more likely we are to prevent the charges, or get them reduced.
In Fraud Cases, Your Intent Is Often the Key to Your Defense.
Sometimes our clients unknowingly cross the line, or make simple mistakes in judgment. In most fraud cases, the client's intent is the critical factor, which can often provide the necessary defense. We are here to protect our clients' rights and pursue justice through the ethical, skilled practice of the law and accessible, personalized client service.
