San Diego Business Fraud charges?
Contact a San Diego Criminal Defense Lawyer.

If you or your business has been charged with business fraud you will be, in most cases, faced with defending yourself against the powerful resources of government agencies. Public opinion in recent years has swayed lawmakers to pass legislation that has established many more legal pitfalls for business and many missteps that in the past were just handled administratively in paperwork resolutions are now being aggressively prosecuted as crimes. Several new agencies have been set up to specifically pursue business violations and some of these agencies are dependent upon the huge fines and confiscations that they win in prosecutions to help them fund themselves. Because of this change in the landscape it is imperative that when you find yourself under investigation or charged with business fraud that contact lawyers such as ours who are completely familiar with how these agencies work, who the key decision-makers are and what the best avenues are for you to resolve your case in the manner that best helps you protect yourself and your business.

Just the hint of an investigation can have catastrophic consequences for a business owner in this era of mass media and 24-hour news cycles. Our firm has handled many cases that have drawn the attention of the media and we are sensitive to those concerns and have incorporated successful strategies in avoiding negative publicity, preventing charges from being filed and winning dismissals and reduced charges in cases in which they are filed. The most important fact to keep in mind is to contact us as soon as possible so we can prevent you from making mistakes when you are contacted by the authorities that can prove costly down the line. The government has enormous resources and, most importantly, all the time it wants to develop a case against you in legal proceedings that can be drawn out over years if your legal options are not preserved at the earliest opportunity. Contact us as soon as possible for a free consultation that will allow us to aggressively represent you at the earliest stage of these proceedings.

The United States government is one of the largest prosecutors of business fraud charges in the world.  Keeping track of every business practice is a daunting task, and it is not uncommon for a business owner to discover that they are the target of a business fraud investigation.  Common forms of business fraud include:

• Accounting fraud
• Auditing fraud
• Bank fraud
• Forgery
• Insider Trading
• Embezzlement

Federal agencies such as the SEC, FBI, IRS, and the FTC can all bring charges of business fraud against any type of corporate entity.  The laws that regulate this area of commerce are exceedingly complex, and not every lawyer is equipped to understand the different approaches the government or other agencies will take in order to secure a conviction.  The simple truth is that if your business, your finances, or your freedom are at stake, you need to have the best defense possible to protect your assets.
