Federal agents and prosecutors are targeting individuals and businesses in cities such as Anaheim, California with increasing frequency. With large populations and near major cities like Los Angeles, these smaller cities are prime locations for healthcare providers and growing businesses. They are also prime targets for agencies such as the FBI, OIG IRS, and DEA seeking criminal convictions for white-collar criminal offenses.
Facing a federal criminal investigation is an extremely serious issue. No matter how certain you are that you haven’t committed a crime, you can’t assume the investigation will go away on its own. The FBI, OIG, IRS, and DEA are aggressive in pursuit of charges against the targets of criminal investigations.

Our Anaheim federal criminal defense team is composed entirely of senior attorneys. Several worked for the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) prior to entering private practice. We know most healthcare providers, company executives, and others targeted in criminal investigations don’t deserve to suffer through a federal trial. We also know the legal lengths to which federal agents and prosecutors will go to secure convictions.
Regardless of the motives triggering the government’s attention, it’s critical to engage experienced legal counsel. To discuss your case with our Anaheim federal criminal lawyers, call 888-680-1745 now.

The FBI, OIG, IRS and DEA Actively Pursue Criminal Investigations in Anaheim, CA
If You Are Under Investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)…
If you are under investigation by the FBI, one of the first steps in building your defense strategy is determining why you are under investigation. The FBI gets involved in federal matters regarding a range of white-collar crimes. Contact a federal criminal law firm to help you defend yourself. Your attorney can help you determine the allegations against you. You need to know whether to focus your defense on healthcare fraud, corporate fraud, computer fraud, identity theft, or other criminal allegations.
If You Are Under Investigation by the Office of Inspector General (OIG)…
As a healthcare provider, there is a good chance that at some point you will be contacted by the OIG. The OIG is the law enforcement division of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). It is responsible for investigating and prosecuting healthcare providers suspected of violating the False Claims Act, the Anti-Kickback Statute, and the nation’s other healthcare laws.
If You Are Under Investigation by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)…
Through its criminal enforcement division, the IRS investigates and prosecutes individuals and corporate entities suspected of tax evasion and other federal tax crimes. It is also frequently involved in multi-agency investigations on a broad range of white-collar criminal allegations.
If You Are Under Investigation by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA)…
The DEA targets criminal drug enterprises. It also targets healthcare providers and other legitimate entities suspected of crimes under the Controlled Substances Act. This includes prescription drug diversion, other forms of prescription drug fraud, and DEA registration violations. In addition to conducting regular audits of registered healthcare providers, the DEA also routinely conducts investigations into providers’ prescription practices based on data analysis, confidential tips, and formal “whistleblower” complaints.
FAQs: Avoiding Prosecution in Federal Criminal Matters in Anaheim, CA
Q: What should I do to protect myself if I am being investigated by the FBI, OIG, IRS, or DEA?
If under investigation by the FBI, OIG, IRS, or DEA in Anaheim, there are several steps you need to take to protect yourself. While we cannot provide legal advice until we know the specific facts of your particular case, some steps we recommend include:
- Avoid making any statements to the investigating agents. Do not make assumptions, and do not try to be “helpful” by voluntarily sharing information.
- Make sure you know the deadlines for any subpoenas or other formal requests for documents or testimony.
- Engage legal counsel immediately to intervene in the investigation and communicate with federal agents and prosecutors on your behalf.
Q: How can your defense team help me avoid criminal prosecution?
When we represent clients in criminal matters, we take an in-depth approach challenging the government’s case from all angles. This includes:
- Using violations during the investigative process to have evidence suppressed;
- Challenging investigators’ and prosecutors’ methods and assumptions;
- Asserting affirmative defenses;
- Poking holes in the prosecution’s case; and
- Taking an aggressive posture to resolve the matter as quickly and quietly as possible.
Q: Am I really at risk for going to federal prison?
Possibly. FBI, OIG, IRS, and DEA investigations typically have serious allegations. A conviction often carries potential for inordinate fines and years or decades in federal prison. To protect our clients against these consequences, we try to keep their cases civil in nature. Civil violations do not carry the potential for prison time. Our Anaheim federal criminal defense attorneys explore all possible options for resolving cases prior to trial.
Q: Does your firm represent clients in Anaheim, CA?
Yes. We have office locations around the country. We represent clients throughout Southern California. We can arrange for you to meet with a member of our federal criminal defense team in Anaheim as soon as possible.
