Contractor fraud civil or criminal defense: Some federal contractors spend years building their businesses and trying to follow the rules. Then one day, you receive a subpoena or civil investigative demand to show up and be questioned. This is a crucial point where what you do next can put you at risk of jail time or huge civil fines. At the end of the day, you will need federal crime lawyers that have experience in the government contracting world. Traditional federal criminal defense attorneys with no procurement experience end up convincing you to take deals and jail time. Why is this? Because the federal prosecutors know that your federal defense lawyer is not experienced in the underlying procurement regulations from which they bring the underlying charges.
