Best Advice is to Get Advice
It really does not matter what you are wearing at the time you are
questioned, accused, arrested or indicted. What matters is what
you do next. The best advice is to get good sound advice before
making any decision. That includes the decision to answer any
letter, any question over the telephone or in person, or answer any
question by local, state or federal law enforcement. At Vieth Law
Offices, we have successfully defended those in white collars, blue
collars, and those with no collars at all. Whether you are a doctor
accused of medicare/medicaid fraud, an area businessman or
businesswoman accused of embezzlement, or a local contractor
being cornered by the IRS, the best advice is to get good sound
legal advice.
When to Hire an Attorney?
This is one of the most important decisions you can make. Some
people will wait and hope. Others will be more proactive and
employ the services of an attorney as soon as an issue or
question comes up. As always, when to hire an attorney will
be case or issue specific. On the other hand, it is better to get
someone onboard earlier than later. Investigators are trained
to illicit a variety of information and prosecutors are trained to
use that information to best serve the federal government or their
respected state’s interest. Therefore don’t you want someone on
your side and on your team as soon as possible?
The Defense Team
At Vieth Law Offices, we employ the services of a variety of
experts and investigators. Dependant upon the situation, an expert
or an investigator can be as important as the attorney you chose to
represent you. For example, if you are a physician or health care
provider and the Attorney General’s Office or the U.S. Attorney’s
Office sends you a target letter alleging medicare/medicaid fraud
one of the first people we will hire is a medicare/medicaid auditor
with a background in compliance. Or if you have been accused of
embezzlement, we will want to get a forensic accountant retained
to review not only what the state or the federal government has in
their possession, but also to review any additional information
that they do not have or are missing. In short, at Vieth Law
Offices you are not just hiring an attorney, you are hiring a team
to make sure all of your rights are not only protected but also
advanced.
