Insurance Fraud Defense Attorney in Texas

But when their bottom line is compromised, and you have benefited, you can expect a mountain of legal trouble coming your way.

Contact me today online or by telephone at (210) 225-6600 to speak with an experienced white collar crime defense lawyer. I represent clients throughout Texas from my office in San Antonio.

Aggressively Fighting Insurance Fraud Charges

As a San Antonio insurance fraud lawyer, I will provide intelligent criminal defense solutions if you are facing insurance fraud charges. Like many white collar crime charges, these cases are often tried on the federal level, calling for the attention of a San Antonio federal defense attorney with extensive federal court experience. I possess the knowledge of federal law, and the way state and federal prosecutors approach these cases, to provide adept and effective legal representation for my clients.

The scope of my practice includes defense against charges of:

• Auto insurance fraud
• Homeowner insurance fraud
• Health insurance fraud
• Life insurance fraud
• Fire insurance fraud

In addition to the criminal charges you are facing, the insurance company may also file a civil suit against you, seeking monetary damages for the losses they have incurred. I am a Board Certified Personal Injury trial lawyer with a wide range of experience handling these cases, which allows me to counter the tactics of the opposition on all fronts. I understand that not only are your finances at stake, but so is your freedom. I am equipped to fight back on your behalf, seeking to avoid or minimize the consequences of a conviction and the financial fallout of a civil court defeat.

Insurance Fraud Penalties

Insurance fraud accounts for billions of dollars in lost taxpayer dollars and results in increasingly high insurance rates for everyone. The penalties for insurance fraud charges are significant and are typically stepped to reflect the seriousness of the fraudulent claim as well as the number of claims made in the particular charge. Each different insurance fraud will be treated as a separate count or charge, so rings that have operated several scams often have hefty penalties even on a first arrest.

Possible Penalties

• Jail time
•  Significant fines
•  Probation
•  Parole
•  Restitution
•  Community service

Insurance Sentencing

The cost to the society as a whole has made sentencing for insurance fraud cases very harsh, even for first offenders. Typically a judge or court will order very high fines and restitution as well as some jail time in most situations. A San Antonio attorney is essential to work with the courts to attempt to lower your fines and jail time, or to even have the court consider alternative sentencing if there were mitigating circumstances.

Keep in mind that state and federal authorities are not the only ones who investigate health care and doctor fraud. Insurance companies can also conduct their own audits, checking doctor files and billing codes to look for billing malpractice or other fraudulent activity. Regardless of the type of charge or investigation, I can help. I am available to defend the rights of people throughout Texas, including San Antonio, Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth & Houston.
