Insurance Fraud
Insurance fraud can result in a civil lawsuit or a criminal prosecution. Insurance fraud can take on many forms, from false claims on a homeowners policy to complex issues of billing for medical services.

Health Care Fraud Defense
Doctors and other healthcare providers have been targets of an increasing number of investigations and prosecutions for insurance fraud. Attempting to curb rising healthcare costs, the government has placed billing practices under higher scrutiny. We have defended professionals charged with fraud involving allegations of billing for services not given, double billing, billing for services not medically necessary, fraudulent coding and upcoding, and kickbacks.
RICO and Other Forms of Insurance Fraud
Besides prosecuting healthcare professionals, the government also charges individuals with insurance fraud for arson, theft, and faking accidents. You also may be charged under the RICO Act, and face serious criminal and civil sanctions. If you are under investigation or charged with insurance fraud, it is wise to speak to an experienced criminal defense lawyer immediately.
