Bankruptcy Fraud

Bankruptcy fraud occurs when a debtor knowingly and fraudulently misrepresents a material fact in connection with a bankruptcy filing, often for the purpose of misusing the federal bankruptcy process and or concealing or furthering an on-going criminal scheme, such as tax fraud. Bankruptcy fraud may take several forms, including concealment of assets, filing of false or incomplete bankruptcy documents, submission of multiple filings, bribing of a court-appointed trustee, engaging in a “petition mill,” and engaging in a “bust-out” scheme.

Bankruptcy fraud is a serious matter which is investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (“FBI”) and is punishable by a fine of up to $250,000.00 and up to 5 years imprisonment.

Given the high stakes involved, it is imperative that individuals facing a federal bankruptcy fraud charge choose an attorney with the knowledge and experience necessary to defend such a case. I have chosen to focus my practice on White Collar Crimes, including bankruptcy fraud. Over the last 40 years, I have earned a successful track record in high stakes white collar matters and have argued before the United States Supreme Court as well as other federal courts throughout the country. I fight hard to enforce the rights of my clients, and I believe in the integrity of that fight.
