How Can Our Firm Help?
Our Firm helps develop cases of financial crime and fraud for potential presentation to law enforcement and for civil litigation purposes. Common scenarios in which our Firm may be involved include current or former employees suspected of stealing money or trade secrets, or business associates who have engaged in fraud or unfair dealing.
In some cases, whether a crime has been committed is not readily apparent. A thorough investigation by a qualified Houston internal investigations law firm can help make this determination. Moreover, in instances of fraud, there is often a fine line between a whether a civil suit or seeking criminal charges is more appropriate. David A. Nachtigall has the experience and expertise of both the procedures to conduct internal investigations and construct cases, and knowledge of the applicable law in order to determine the available remedies.
In cases in which a criminal charge is the client’s objective, law enforcement may lack the resources to properly investigate financial crime. White collar investigations are generally time and resource intensive, and some agencies do not have the manpower and expertise to properly investigate financial crimes. As a former white collar prosecutor, David also has extensive experience with law enforcement agents and prosecutors, and understand the types of evidence the government expects to see when considering a prosecution. When presenting a claim of alleged financial crime to law enforcement, it is advantageous to be able to provide the appropriate forms of evidence and information to law enforcement in order to increase the likelihood that an official investigation will be conducted.
In cases where involving law enforcement is not appropriate, civil remedies may exist in order to redress allegations of fraud. In addition to criminal allegations, David A. Nachtigall and his and his Houston internal investigations law firm handle white collar and fraud cases in civil courts.
