Respond Carefully to Civil Investigative Demands CIDs
When the OIG or DOJ conducts False Claims Act investigations, it can issue civil investigative demands (CIDs) to targets of government contract fraud, suspects, and witnesses. An OIG or DOJ Civil Investigative Demand compels you to produce records, written responses, or provide testimony that may help the DOJ in a subsequent civil or criminal case.
Responding to a DOJ civil investigative demand is an extremely dangerous process if not done correctly. Not only is the response process time-consuming but you must also work with a federal lawyer to make sure that your constitutional rights and other statutory rights are not violated.

Hire Government Contract Fraud Federal Criminal Defense to Fight to Avoid Penalties and Jail Time
Although businesses can be criminally charged, they can not go to jail. Therefore, federal prosecutors such as the DOJ go after executives and decision-makers to implement jail time for criminal offenses, fees, and penalties. This is where our government contractor fraud defense attorneys can help.
Prosecutors can go after your company to pay back three times the amount of the contracts, invoices or value you allegedly took from the government. This is serious business and you need the best federal criminal defense attorney who understands the bottom-line subject matter and substantive issues in federal procurement.
