Government Fraud
Miami Criminal Defense Lawyers: Government Fraud
The trend over the last two decades is for the government to file criminal charges for fraud that formerly would have been handled in civil court. Parties convicted of government fraud charges face possible sentences that, in addition to financial penalties, include state or federal prison.
If you have reason to believe you are under suspicion for government fraud, contact an attorney at Rothman & Associates to discuss your situation. Founded in 1980, we have the experience to form creative and effective legal solutions that can protect your rights and minimize the consequences of a conviction.
Handling Criminal Government Fraud Cases in Both State and Federal Courts
Government contract fraud cases may be prosecuted in state courts, federal courts or both. Effectively handling the complexities of trying a case in a U.S. district court while simultaneously defending the client against charges filed in state court requires skill, knowledge and determination. Our Miami government fraud defense lawyers have this ability.
Our founding attorney, David B. Rothman, is a specialist in criminal trial law, Board Certified by The Florida Bar. He also has experience as a former prosecutor. When handling a government fraud case, we combine Mr. Rothman's experience with the knowledge and skill of the other lawyers at the firm. This team approach gives a better-rounded perspective to our defense and has allowed us to successfully defend clients who were charged with criminal conduct involving:
- Corruption in connection with government scandals
- Government contracts involving fraudulent bids and proposals
- Procurement integrity issues
- Fraudulent accounting standards
- Failure to obtain licensing and data rights
- Defective pricing

- Prime-subcontractor issues
- Government audits and investigations
