Are the FBI, OIG, IRS, or DEA Targeting Your Business in Idaho?

Do you suspect or know that you are being targeted by a federal agency such as the FBI, IRS, OIG, or DEA?  Have you uncovered evidence that could present serious problems to your business or to you personally?  Have you received a target letter or grand jury subpoena from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Idaho?  If you answered yes to any of these questions – the first step you should take is to get in touch with a proven attorney to discuss the appropriate strategy. Remember, in federal criminal defense proceedings, there is no room for second chances or experimentation.  You need Oberheiden, P.C.’s experienced Idaho federal criminal defense attorneys who have helped hundreds of clients in your situation.

The mission of the OIG (Office of the Inspector General), which is the is the law enforcement wing of the Department of Health and Human Services, is to “to protect the integrity of Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) programs as well as the health and welfare of program beneficiaries.”  The OIG in Boise, Idaho, targets primarily healthcare providers and physicians who are involved in Medicaid, Medicare, or Department of Labor (DOL) fraud charges.
