Federal fraud investigations often begin quietly, long before you’re aware of being a target. Understanding the process helps you prepare.
Every case is unique, and a well-tailored strategy can make all the difference. Here are some key approaches:

By questioning the methods and validity of the evidence, you can weaken the government’s case. Even a small procedural misstep by investigators can be leveraged to suppress critical evidence.
Fraud cases often hinge on the question of intent. Federal prosecutors must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you knowingly engaged in fraudulent behavior. Mistakes, misunderstandings, or unintentional errors in complex financial processes do not equate to fraud. For instance:
Your defense can highlight these issues to demonstrate that there was no intent to defraud.
In many cases, prosecutors rely on testimony from coworkers, clients, or whistleblowers. However, these individuals may have biases, ulterior motives, or misunderstandings about your actions. Your defense can work to uncover:
By challenging the credibility of key witnesses, you can cast doubt on the prosecution’s case.
