| Insurance Fraud and Welfare Fraud |
Insurance fraud and welfare fraud can be charged if the government believes that an individual is attempting to, or has attempted to, illegally obtained insurance benefits from from either Automobile Insurance, Workers' Compensation, or Welfare. These types of matters
are considered "paper" cases and require intense investigation, follow-up, and, in most instances, a tremendous amount of paperwork (hence the nickname). For that reason, prosecutors generally prefer to resolve these matters expeditiously. Understanding the various code sections involved is key. The crimes targeted by these investigations are primarily: Section 550 of the Penal
Code - False or fraudulent claims or statements; Section 1871 of the Insurance Code - The Insurance Fraud Prevention Act; Section 118 of the Penal
Code - Perjury; and Section 487 of the Penal Code - Grand Theft. As a law clerk in the Auto Insurance Fraud Division of the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office, I aided in the prosecution of dozens of insurance fraud schemes, including multi-million dollar schemes involving several government agenies. It was that insight that truly gave me the understanding to now defend individuals charged and targeted in these types of cases. Throughout Southern California, I have successfully defended numerous individuals charged, at all levels, for various insurance related crimes. As I always say, mere allegations are not proof. People desesrve to have their good names and rights defended to the fullest extent possible.
