Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Welfare Fraud Attorney

Due in part to the mortgage crisis and recent Wall Street scandals, state and federal investigators are now cracking down on fraud at all levels. Investigators are typically very careful and very thorough in collecting evidence and gathering witnesses. At the federal level, it may take months or even years before federal prosecutors indict a suspect. For these reasons, it's important to retain an experienced criminal defense lawyer as soon as you learn or believe that you are under investigation for fraud. Attorney Randolph L. Goldman counsels and represents clients, helping them cooperate with investigators without incriminating themselves or being charged with obstruction of justice.

Fraud - Challenging the Charges Against You

As in other criminal cases, the prosecution must prove that you knowingly defrauded customers, the government or investors. However, in securities fraud and healthcare fraud cases, what looks like a pattern of deception may actually be the result of a mistake or fluctuations in market conditions. Similarly, appraisers, real estate agents, or secondary buyers in a real estate deal may not realize they are party to a fraudulent transaction until long after a deal has been completed.

In the case of corporations, compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley and what counts as a GAAP principle, off-budget investment, or audit committee matter is not always clear. Over-zealous investigators can quickly seize on otherwise honest mistakes and use them as a basis to launch an investigation. As your attorney, Randolph L. Goldman tries to intervene in fraud investigations as soon as possible. In many cases, he can lay suspicions to rest by answering questions and cooperating with investigators.
