Case study: white-collar criminal defense

A district attorney in northern California indicted the former CEO of a mortgage brokerage and nine other defendants in connection with a fraudulent mortgage-elimination scheme. The prosecution brought in an FBI accountant as an expert witness to present circumstantial evidence that the CEO had misappropriated loan proceeds by filing forged reconveyances. JPHI audited the same bank records and interviewed the same witnesses as the prosecution and provided the defense with evidence that the FBI accountant and a D.A. investigator had made multiple erroneous statements in their testimony.
