STATE - WHITE COLLAR

(Computer Crimes, Counterfeiting, Embezzlement, Extortion, Forgery, Fraud, Grand Theft, Identity Theft, Insurance Fraud, Ponzi Schemes, Workers Compensation Fraud)

WWhite Collar Crime prosecuted by the City Attorney, District Attorney, and Attorney General in State Court is becoming more prevalent. The investigations that lead to these prosecutions are conducted by a variety of agencies as well as multi agency task forces.

We believe that top notch representation begins from the moment we are retained and prevails throughout every stage of the criminal process. From pre indictment, to bail, to the discovery process, negotiation or jury trial, at KAPLAN MARINO our efforts on behalf of our clients are duly noted in the results achieved. We use all of our skills in the aggressive representation of our clients. We meticulously review all the evidence, carefully conduct our own investigation, and prepare our client’s defense with cost effective efficiency. We are well prepared for a jury trial in the event settlement is not desired.

Sentencing in white collar crime cases involves careful consideration of a multitude of factors. At KAPLAN MARINO, we recognize that in those cases where a negotiated settlement is in our client’s best interest, our advocacy best serves our client by minimizing consequences.

Confidentiality and discretion are top priorities for the attorneys at KAPLAN MARINO. We know that any contact with the criminal justice system can have collateral consequences. Unlike some firms, we do not seek out the media or attention. We provide each of our clients with a strategic style of aggressive and thorough representation.

Representative Cases:

Our client, a Los Angeles County Deputy Sheriff, charged with workers compensation fraud, was acquitted on all counts after jury trial. Our success was due to our tenacious and vigorous approach to the evidence, the creative and innovative techniques we employed in the trial preparation, and our experienced courtroom style.

Our client was the controller at an electronics firm. He was called into the owner’s office during an internal audit and was accused of embezzling funds. The client immediately left work and called our office. We contacted the owner and attorney for the company. Despite the fact there was overwhelming evidence that our client took over $400,000, the theft was never reported to the authorities and the matter was settled. It was the quick response and creative approach by KAPLAN MARINO attorneys that prevented a felony arrest and conviction.

Our client was charged with conspiracy and defrauding Medicare for millions of dollars. The case involved multiple defendants, many of whom had fled the jurisdiction. By the time our client was arrested entering the country, the case was several years old. Our client had a common name and we were able to successfully convince the government they would be unable to prove he was the same person that was involved in the fraud and conspiracy. The matter was dismissed.
