Some of the cases we can handle include the following:
Bank Fraud
The crime of bank fraud is a serious federal offense that is defined in United States law. It involves knowingly engaging in a scheme to deceive a financial institution to obtain its assets or money through false or fraudulent means. This can include check kiting, forging signatures, altering checks, or using identity theft to get a loan or credit.
Healthcare Fraud
Healthcare fraud involves the exploitation of the healthcare system for personal financial gain. It encompasses many illegal activities, such as making false claims to insurance companies or government healthcare programs like Medicare, Medicaid, and Tricare. The Department of Justice and other federal agencies use various laws to investigate and prosecute healthcare providers suspected of committing fraud.
Mail and Wire Fraud
The crimes of mail and wire fraud are federal offenses that are often charged alongside other criminal charges. Both offenses carry severe penalties, including imprisonment for up to 20 years and substantial fines of $250,000 for individuals and $500,000 for businesses for each instance of fraud. Using the internet, a cell phone, or any other means of transmission in the commission or attempted commission of a white-collar crime is considered sufficient evidence of guilt for the crime of mail or wire fraud. As a result, federal prosecutors frequently bring these charges against individuals and organizations suspected of committing white-collar crimes.
Securities Fraud
Securities fraud is a broad term that encompasses many illegal actions that violate the regulations set forth by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and federal securities laws. This fraud is typically carried out by brokers, financial advisors, and financial firms who deceive and defraud investors. There are several ways that securities fraud can occur, including the sale of unregistered investment products, excessive “churning” of an investor’s account, and misusing or misappropriating funds from an investor’s portfolio. In addition to these actions, securities fraud investigations may also focus on disclosure violations. A company or individual must provide complete and accurate information to investors about their investments, including any potential risks and benefits.

Anchorage White-Collar Criminal Case FAQs
Why Do Federal Agents Want to Interview Me?
Federal agents will employ various techniques to gather information from individuals under investigation for white-collar crimes. In many situations, federal agents will schedule informal interviews without disclosing the nature of the questions. If you have received any form of contact from a federal agency, you want to handle the matter seriously. Take immediate action to protect your rights. Your first step should be to seek the counsel of a knowledgeable attorney with experience with these types of cases. With our in-depth knowledge, we will guide you through the complex legal process and help you navigate the challenges you may face.
What Happens If I’ve Received a Grand Jury Subpoena?
The federal government often utilizes a grand jury subpoena in investigations related to white-collar crimes. Keep in mind that the power of a subpoena is not absolute. There are legal limits to this fact-gathering tool. In any case, you will want to respond to a subpoena. Non-compliance could result in severe consequences, including charges of contempt of federal court. Your decision to challenge the subpoena should be made in consultation with a highly skilled and knowledgeable white-collar criminal defense attorney. Our attorneys will thoroughly evaluate your specific circumstances and provide insightful advice on the best course of action to take.
What Is a Target Letter?
The classification of individuals believed to be involved in a federal crime is divided into three categories: witnesses, subjects, and targets. Individuals who are considered witnesses possess valuable information related to a crime but are not believed to be directly involved in criminal activities. On the other hand, subjects may have some involvement in the crime but are not the main focus of the investigation.
However, targets are at the forefront of the investigation as they are believed to have committed a federal crime. Receiving a target letter from the government indicates that they plan to bring criminal charges against you. You will want to speak to our well-respected and experienced federal white-collar criminal defense lawyers as soon as possible.
Can I Be Personally Charged for a Crime If My Company Is Being Investigated?
A company’s key personnel and stakeholders may also be scrutinized in corporate white-collar investigations. Many of these crimes require the involvement of human action in commissioning the offense. Often, prosecutors bring charges against both the company and the individuals involved in the criminal activities. Individuals in critical positions within a corporation should take proactive steps to protect themselves, including seeking legal counsel if they suspect they may be under investigation. An experienced white-collar criminal defense attorney can provide you with the necessary guidance and representation to navigate these complex legal matters.
