- Embezzlement and other financial fraud
- Investment fraud
- Insider trading
- Medicaid / Medicare fraud
- Pension fraud
- Insurance fraud

- Bankruptcy fraud

White Collar Criminal Investigations
In many instances, a criminal investigation will be commenced to determine whether an indictment should be issued. By retaining experienced criminal defense counsel to represent you as early as possible in the process, it may be possible to avoid initiation of formal criminal charges or limit the range of potential charges. If you are subpoenaed to appear before a grand jury, it is critical that you are represented by counsel. Mark is an experienced white collar criminal defense attorney who is familiar with the state and federal prosecutors’ offices on Long Island and throughout the metropolitan New York City area. Even if it is not possible to avoid an indictment, we endeavor to resolve the matter as quickly, quietly and inexpensively as possible.
In addition to representing clients in pending criminal investigations and criminal proceedings, we conduct internal investigations for clients and counsel them on how to avoid dangerous and expensive exposure to criminal charges and civil liability. To that end, we provide consultation and assistance to clients interested in implementing preventive measures such as internal compliance plans. We also undertake fact-finding inquiries on behalf of clients to determine whether any laws have been violated, or are in danger of being violated. We can advise clients regarding False Claims Act, Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, whistleblower and other matters of potential liability.
Many white collar crimes can involve multiple criminal charges and may tried in many different jurisdictions. Whether you are charged in federal or state court or both depends on several factors, including whether the case is considered high profile, the amount of money involved, the number of victims, and the type of crime. It is therefore important that you are represented by a criminal defense attorney experienced in handling matters in multiple jurisdictions.
