Sophisticated Attorneys for Major Financial Crimes
If you suspect or know you are the target or subject of an investigation into criminal financial misconduct, don't call your accountant — call an attorney. Too many people under investigation by federal prosecutors or the Internal Revenue Service make the mistake of first contacting their accountants. If we at Greenspan & Greenspan could correct one common error, it would be that first phone call.
Why Call a Lawyer Before Your Accountant? Your conversations with your accountant are not confidential. The government can subpoena your accountant and demand to know the substance of all conversations. Conversations with your attorney, on the other hand, are private and confidential. Furthermore, your attorney can hire a forensic accountant to work with your accounts, and the work of the forensic accountant is also considered confidential.

Early Intervention Can Make a Difference in Embezzlement Cases
Whether you are accused of a conspiring with others in a scheme of embezzlement against your employer or are charged as a sole actor, your defense lawyer needs as much time as possible to untangle the potentially-complex web of financial transactions that will be relevant in the government's case against you as well as in your defense.
Bringing a savvy defense attorney on board at an early stage of the investigation into embezzlement charges gives you the reassurance of knowing that you have a smart and experienced professional on your side throughout the entire investigation and in any further proceedings.
