A wide variety of crimes are considered to be fraud cases or other types of economic offenses. "Fraud cases" include accounting fraud, bank fraud, false statements or fraudulent activities during a bankruptcy proceeding, bribery, fraudulent acts while using a computer, credit card fraud, forgery, defrauding a government agency, health care fraud, mail fraud, Medicare fraud, mortgage fraud, public corruption, securities fraud, tax fraud, and wire fraud. The one thing in common among all these different types of fraud cases is that each involves an allegation that the defendant either made a knowing misrepresentation about the facts, or concealed some fact, and this was done in order to induce another person to give up some thing of value.

In addition to fraud cases, we handle matters involving other economic crimes, such as theft, bribery, blackmail, and intellectual property offenses. We also represent employers who are investigated for or are prosecuted with violating immigration laws. A common aspect of economic crimes and fraud cases is that they can be very complicated. Such cases are often investigated by federal agents who have specialized training or experience. These cases quite often involve thousands or even millions of documents or electronic records.
