In-Depth Criminal Defense Experience In Fraud Cases
Before starting my defense firm in 1995, I was an assistant district attorney in Harris County, Texas. During this time, I prosecuted many cases involving fraud, theft, forgery and other white collar crime. I am board certified in criminal law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. I am committed to addressing possible business problems before they spiral out of control.
My strong legal background provides me with a first-hand perspective of the evidence prosecutors use to build cases against individuals charged with mail fraud, wire fraud, healthcare fraud and other serious crimes of fraud. Part of my success stems from carefully investigating each case and taking the time to research and understand the regulations and other unique aspects of the business environment in which the facts at issue occurred. Business-related fraud charges can take many different forms including the following:
- Embezzlement
- Mortgage fraud
- Health care, Medicare or Medicaid fraud
- Insurance fraud
- Oil or gas trading fraud
