SAN DIEGO BUSINESS FRAUD ATTORNEY
Business Fraud Attorney in San Diego
Accusations of business fraud can be devastating, and they carry extreme consequences if the accused is convicted. Recent changes in California state business law now classify many regulatory and administrative violations as criminal offences, leading to stiffer punishments and increased prosecution. Even if you are innocent, accusations of fraud can ruin your reputation in the business community and cost you your job.
Business fraud can be prosecuted at the state or federal level and includes activities like tax fraud, accounting fraud and bank fraud, embezzlement, money laundering and forgery. You may have trouble with trade secrets, breach of contract or billing fraud. Publicly traded companies may face SEC violations or shareholder litigation surrounding certain business practices.
Laws surrounding business activities are very complex, and one transaction can result in multiple charges. In addition, honest mistakes or miscommunications may leave you facing litigation you do not deserve. It is important to make sure that you have an advocate working on your behalf through all steps of a fraud investigation.
The U.S. and state attorneys general may build up their cases over many years, but in most cases you will only have a few weeks to mount up a defense. You need a competent, experienced business fraud attorney working as your advocate to ensure a satisfactory outcome, whether or not you are guilty.
