Internal Investigations

Posted on by 141907pwpadmin

Understanding Internal Investigations

Understanding Internal Investigations When potential misconduct, regulatory violations, or sensitive disputes arise within a company, conducting an internal investigation is often essential. Whether the issue involves financial irregularities, employee wrongdoing, compliance lapses, or whistleblower allegations, how an organization responds can have lasting legal, reputational, and operational consequences. Internal investigations serve not only to uncover facts, but also to guide sound decision-making, demonstrate good-faith compliance, and position an organization to respond to regulators, enforcement agencies, or civil claims. These matters often involve overlapping risks — legal, financial, and reputational — and require a careful, strategic approach grounded in discretion, credibility, and legal precision.

Our Approach to Internal Investigations

At A Einhorn Law, we assist companies, boards, executives, and professionals in conducting thorough, strategic internal investigations that get to the heart of the issue — without disrupting the organization’s day-to-day operations. Our approach is tailored, discreet, and aligned with your business objectives. We guide clients through all phases of the investigative process:
  • Scoping the Issue: We work closely with leadership to define the purpose and scope of the investigation, identify potential legal and regulatory risks, and set clear objectives.
  • Preserving and Reviewing Evidence: We assist in identifying and securing relevant records, including emails, financial documents, communications, and internal reports.
  • Conducting Interviews: We interview relevant personnel to understand timelines, motivations, and internal dynamics — always with an eye toward privilege, confidentiality, and downstream litigation risks.
  • Assessing Exposure: We analyze the facts in light of applicable statutes, regulations, internal policies, and contractual obligations. Where appropriate, we consult outside experts in forensic accounting, cybersecurity, or employment practices.
  • Advising on Next Steps: Based on our findings, we advise clients on corrective measures, regulatory disclosures, employee actions, and broader risk mitigation. When disclosure is advisable or necessary, we help manage communications with regulators or law enforcement agencies.
Our investigations are built for credibility — thorough enough to withstand external scrutiny, yet focused enough to deliver clear, actionable insight to those who need it.

How to Prepare for Your First Meeting

To ensure that our first meeting is productive and efficient, please take the following steps:

1. Gather Key Documents

Bring any documents related to your case, including:

  • Subpoenas, Complaints, or Indictments: If you have been formally notified of an investigation or charged with a crime.
  • Correspondence with Law Enforcement: Letters, emails, or other communications with federal or state agencies.
  • Key Records: Bank statements, tax returns, invoices, contracts, or other records related to the transactions in question that are key to understanding the matter.
  • Critical Communications: Text messages, emails, letters, or other communications critically important to understanding the matter.
  • Legal Notices or Agreements: Contracts, non-disclosure agreements, partnership agreements, or other documents relevant to your case.

2. Prepare a Written Timeline

If your case involves a series of events, it can be helpful to prepare a brief written timeline that outlines the key events, dates, and individuals involved. This will help us quickly understand the background of your case.

Professionals

Posted on by 141907pwpadmin

Understanding Allegations Involving Professionals

Professionals — including lawyers, doctors, accountants, financial advisors, real estate agents, and executives — are held to high ethical and legal standards due to the trust placed in them by clients, patients, employers, and the public. However, this elevated status also means that professionals are frequently the target of investigations, disciplinary actions, civil lawsuits, and criminal charges.

Allegations against professionals can arise in a wide range of contexts, including:

  • Professional Misconduct: Violations of ethical rules, conflicts of interest, breach of fiduciary duty, or unauthorized practice.
  • Fraud and Financial Crimes: Securities fraud, wire fraud, mail fraud, embezzlement, tax evasion, and money laundering.
  • Healthcare Fraud: Billing fraud, upcoding, unbundling, illegal kickbacks, and controlled substances violations for medical professionals.
  • Regulatory Violations: Failing to comply with industry-specific regulations, such as SEC rules for financial advisors, HIPAA for healthcare providers, or AML rules for financial institutions.
  • Misrepresentation and False Statements: Providing false information in applications, reports, or client communications.
  • Client Complaints and Disciplinary Actions: Allegations of incompetence, negligence, or unethical conduct before licensing boards.
  • Professional Negligence and Malpractice: Civil lawsuits alleging that your conduct fell below the standard of care expected in your profession.
  • Defamation and Reputational Harm: Damage to your reputation resulting from false accusations, negative media coverage, or social media attacks.

Professional allegations can have severe consequences, including loss of licensure, exclusion from industry associations, substantial fines, civil liability, criminal charges, and lasting reputational harm. For many professionals, even minor allegations can jeopardize a career built over years of hard work.

Public Officials

Posted on by 141907pwpadmin

Understanding Allegations Involving Public Officials

Public officials hold positions of trust and authority, serving in roles ranging from elected officials and government employees to law enforcement officers and regulatory agency representatives. However, the same authority that enables public officials to serve their communities also makes them highly visible targets for investigations, allegations of misconduct, and criminal charges.

Public officials can face a wide range of legal challenges, including:

  • Bribery and Corruption: Accepting payments, gifts, or other benefits in exchange for official actions or decisions.
  • Honest Services Fraud: Engaging in schemes to deprive the public of honest services, such as using a position of authority for personal gain.
  • Embezzlement and Theft: Misappropriating public funds, property, or resources for personal use.
  • Campaign Finance Violations: Accepting illegal campaign contributions, misreporting campaign expenses, or using campaign funds for personal purposes.
  • Misconduct in Office: Abusing authority, engaging in conflicts of interest, or violating ethical rules.
  • Obstruction of Justice: Interfering with investigations, altering records, or tampering with witnesses.
  • Wire Fraud and Mail Fraud: Using electronic communications or mail to further fraudulent schemes.
  • Misuse of Confidential Information: Disclosing or using non-public government information for personal gain.

Public officials may be investigated or prosecuted by a wide range of agencies, including the Department of Justice (DOJ), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), U.S. Office of Special Counsel (OSC), state Attorneys General, and local district attorneys. Investigations can be triggered by whistleblower complaints, media reports, regulatory audits, or law enforcement actions.

Because public officials are entrusted with positions of authority, they are often held to a higher standard of conduct. This means that even minor allegations can result in severe consequences, including criminal charges, removal from office, loss of professional licenses, financial penalties, and reputational harm.

Our Approach to Defending Public Officials: Strategic, Discreet, and Comprehensive

At A Einhorn Law, we understand that public officials face unique legal challenges and reputational risks. Our approach is built on providing a strong, proactive defense that protects your rights and minimizes your exposure.

Mail and Wire Fraud

Posted on by 141907pwpadmin

Understanding Mail and Wire Fraud

Mail and wire fraud are two of the most commonly charged federal crimes, involving the use of mail, email, telephone, text messages, or any form of electronic communication to carry out fraudulent schemes. Prosecutors aggressively pursue mail and wire fraud cases because they provide broad authority to target individuals and businesses suspected of deceptive or fraudulent conduct.

Mail fraud involves the use of the United States Postal Service (USPS) or any private or commercial carrier (such as FedEx or UPS) to further a fraudulent scheme.

Wire fraud is similar to mail fraud but involves the use of electronic communications instead of mail. This can include:

  • Email and Text Messages
  • Phone Calls
  • Internet Transactions
  • Bank Transfers and Cryptocurrency Transactions

Because wire fraud involves electronic communications, it can be charged in a wide range of cases and is often charged alongside other offenses, such as bank fraud, securities fraud, healthcare fraud, money laundering, conspiracy, or racketeering (RICO). Federal prosecutors view mail and wire fraud as versatile tools that allow them to pursue a wide range of fraudulent conduct, even if the underlying scheme does not directly involve the federal government.

Our Approach to Mail and Wire Fraud Defense: Strategic, Evidence-Driven, and Proactive

At A Einhorn Law, we understand that mail and wire fraud cases can be complex, high stakes matters involving extensive communications, financial records, and electronic evidence. Our approach is built on providing a strong, proactive defense that protects your rights and minimizes your exposure.

  • Strategic Defense Development: Our defense strategy is customized to your case, whether that means demonstrating that your statements were truthful, showing that you acted in good faith, or negotiating for reduced charges.
  • Digital Forensic Analysis: Where necessary, we work with digital forensics experts to recover deleted messages, verify the authenticity of electronic communications, and challenge the government’s interpretation of the evidence.
  • Protecting Your Reputation: We recognize that mail and wire fraud allegations can damage your name, especially for professionals, executives, and business owners. Whenever possible, we work to resolve these cases discreetly.
  • Defending Against Related Charges: Mail and wire fraud investigations often lead to additional allegations, including bank fraud, securities fraud, healthcare fraud, conspiracy, and obstruction of justice. We are prepared to defend you against any related charges.

Securities Fraud

Posted on by 141907pwpadmin

Understanding Securities Fraud

Securities fraud is a serious federal and state crime involving deceptive practices in the buying, selling, or offering of securities, such as stocks, bonds, or investment contracts. Prosecutors and regulatory agencies view securities fraud as a direct threat to the integrity of financial markets, and they aggressively pursue individuals and businesses they believe have engaged in misleading, manipulative, or fraudulent conduct.

Securities fraud can take many forms, including:

  • Insider Trading: Buying or selling securities based on material, non-public information, such as confidential corporate earnings, mergers, or acquisitions.
  • Misrepresentation or Omission: Making false statements or failing to disclose material facts to investors, such as misleading financial statements or false earnings projections.
  • Ponzi Schemes and Investment Scams: Using new investor funds to pay returns to earlier investors, while falsely claiming the investments are profitable.
  • Market Manipulation: Engaging in schemes to artificially inflate or deflate the price of a security, such as pump-and-dump schemes.
  • Unauthorized Trading: Conducting trades on behalf of clients without their knowledge or consent.
  • Churning: Excessive trading in a client’s account to generate commissions, without regard to the client’s investment goals.
  • Accounting Fraud: Manipulating financial statements to deceive investors, such as overstating revenue or hiding liabilities.
  • Misuse of Client Funds: Diverting client funds for unauthorized purposes, often in violation of fiduciary duties.

Securities fraud can be prosecuted under federal laws, including the Securities Act of 1933, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Investment Advisers Act, and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Investigations are typically led by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Department of Justice (DOJ), Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), and state securities regulators.

Because securities fraud cases often involve complex financial transactions, extensive documentation, and sophisticated regulatory rules, they require a strategic, evidence-driven defense.

Healthcare Fraud

Posted on by 141907pwpadmin

Understanding Healthcare Fraud

Healthcare fraud is a serious federal and state crime involving the submission of false or misleading claims to healthcare programs for financial gain. Prosecutors aggressively pursue healthcare fraud cases because they view them as a direct threat to the integrity of government healthcare programs, including Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE, and private insurance plans.

Healthcare fraud can take many forms, including:

  • Billing for Services Not Provided: Submitting claims for medical procedures, tests, or treatments that were never actually performed.
  • Upcoding and Unbundling: Billing for more expensive procedures than those actually performed or separating bundled services to increase reimbursement.
  • Kickbacks and Bribes: Offering or receiving payments, gifts, or other benefits in exchange for patient referrals or the purchase of medical equipment.
  • False Diagnoses: Deliberately misdiagnosing patients to justify unnecessary treatments or tests.
  • Prescription Fraud: Issuing prescriptions for controlled substances without a legitimate medical purpose, often in connection with opioid diversion schemes.
  • Medical Identity Theft: Using a patient’s information without their consent to submit fraudulent claims.
  • Provider Identity Fraud: Using another provider’s credentials to submit claims or operating under a false name.
  • False Cost Reporting: Misrepresenting costs or expenses on cost reports submitted to government healthcare programs.

Healthcare fraud can be prosecuted under a wide range of federal laws, including the False Claims Act (FCA), Anti-Kickback Statute (AKS), Stark Law, Healthcare Fraud Statute (18 U.S.C. § 1347), and the Controlled Substances Act. Investigations are typically led by the Department of Justice (DOJ), Department of Health and Human Services – Office of Inspector General (HHS-OIG), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and state Medicaid Fraud Control Units (MFCUs).

Healthcare fraud cases require a sophisticated, strategic defense because they often involve complex billing records, medical procedures, and regulatory compliance.

Mortgage Fraud

Posted on by 141907pwpadmin

Understanding Mortgage Fraud

Mortgage fraud is a serious financial crime involving the use of false information, misrepresentation, or deceptive practices to obtain a mortgage loan or manipulate the terms of a mortgage agreement. Prosecutors view mortgage fraud as a direct threat to the integrity of the housing market and financial institutions, and they aggressively pursue individuals and businesses suspected of engaging in fraudulent mortgage activities.

Mortgage fraud can take many forms, including:

  • Application Fraud: Providing false information on a mortgage application, such as overstating income, falsifying employment records, or misrepresenting the value of assets.
  • Income and Asset Fraud: Fabricating income documents, falsifying bank statements, or using fake tax returns to qualify for a loan.
  • Occupancy Fraud: Misrepresenting the intended use of the property (claiming a property is for primary residence when it is actually an investment property).
  • Property Flipping Fraud: Buying a property at a low price and quickly reselling it at a much higher price based on inflated appraisals or false renovations.
  • Straw Buyer Schemes: Using another person’s identity or credit to secure a mortgage on behalf of the true purchaser.
  • Equity Skimming: Obtaining a mortgage on a property without any intent to repay the loan, often by transferring ownership to a straw buyer and collecting rental income without paying the mortgage.
  • Foreclosure Rescue Schemes: Offering false promises to distressed homeowners, taking control of their property, and using it for personal profit.
  • Appraisal Fraud: Using inflated or fraudulent appraisals to increase the value of a property and secure a larger loan.
  • Short Sale Fraud: Manipulating short sale transactions to purchase properties at reduced prices through false claims of financial hardship.

Mortgage fraud can be prosecuted under federal laws, including the Bank Fraud Statute (18 U.S.C. § 1344), Wire Fraud Statute (18 U.S.C. § 1343), Mail Fraud Statute (18 U.S.C. § 1341), and False Statements Statute (18 U.S.C. § 1001). Investigations are typically led by federal agencies, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Department of Justice (DOJ), Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Office of the Inspector General (HUD-OIG), and the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA).

Mortgage fraud cases can be complex, involving extensive financial records, property appraisals, loan documents, and communications with lenders. Because mortgage fraud can result in significant financial losses for lenders and investors, prosecutors are highly motivated to secure convictions.

Obstruction

Posted on by 141907pwpadmin

Understanding Obstruction of Justice

Obstruction of justice is a serious federal and state crime involving any act that interferes with the investigation, prosecution, or administration of justice. Prosecutors view obstruction of justice as a direct attack on the integrity of the legal system, and they aggressively pursue individuals they believe have engaged in deceptive, misleading, or disruptive conduct that obstructs legal proceedings.

Obstruction of justice can take many forms, including:

  • Tampering with Evidence: Destroying, altering, or concealing documents, digital records, or other evidence.
  • Witness Intimidation: Threatening, bribing, or coercing witnesses to change their testimony or withhold information.
  • Lying to Investigators: Making false statements to law enforcement officers, federal agents, or regulatory investigators.
  • Providing False Information: Submitting false documents, false reports, or misleading records to government agencies.
  • Interfering with Official Proceedings: Disrupting court proceedings, hearings, or investigations.
  • Retaliation Against Witnesses: Harassing, threatening, or taking adverse action against individuals who cooperate with law enforcement.
  • Concealing Information: Withholding information or failing to disclose material facts during an investigation.

Obstruction of justice is often charged in connection with other crimes, such as fraud, bribery, money laundering, public corruption, or conspiracy. At the federal level, obstruction of justice can be prosecuted under a wide range of statutes, including 18 U.S.C. § 1503 (influencing or injuring an officer or juror), 18 U.S.C. § 1512 (tampering with witnesses), 18 U.S.C. § 1519 (destruction of records), and 18 U.S.C. § 1001 (false statements). State laws also impose significant penalties for obstructing justice.

Because obstruction charges often rely on the government’s interpretation of your actions and intent, they can be highly fact specific. Successfully defending against obstruction of justice requires a strategic, evidence-driven approach.

At A Einhorn Law, we understand that obstruction of justice cases are complex and often hinge on the government’s interpretation of your actions. Our approach is built on providing a strong, proactive defense that challenges the government’s narrative and protects your rights.

  • Strategic Defense Development: Our defense strategy is customized to your case, whether that means showing that your actions were lawful, establishing a lack of intent, or negotiating for reduced charges.
  • Forensic Analysis and Expert Testimony: Where necessary, we work with forensic experts, digital analysts, or other specialists to challenge the accuracy and reliability of the evidence.
  • Defending Against Related Charges: Obstruction of justice allegations often arise in connection with other charges, including fraud, bribery, perjury, or conspiracy. We are prepared to defend you against any related offenses.
  • Discreet Resolution: We recognize that obstruction of justice allegations can damage your reputation, especially for professionals, executives, and public officials. Whenever possible, we work to resolve these cases discreetly, minimizing exposure.
