Do you think that you have made an honest mistake and never intended to harm the government? Do you think that you or your company is targeted wrongfully and you are simply being punished? In today’s political and commercial climate, the reality is that individuals and corporations are being targeted when the government may have only shreds of evidence at best. Even if they claim to have evidence against you, does it rise to the burden of proof that the government will have to prove in court?
In government contracting and the healthcare industries, sometimes, government lawyers have minimal evidence at best. Yet, they pursue civil and federal criminal cases against you because they will gamble that you don’t have a criminal defense attorney who understands the underlying laws (government contracts, healthcare, trade agreements, and so on).
Our Approach – How Lack of Intent in Your Federal Can Help You
Our criminal defense clients, more than anything, want the investigation, indictment or litigation to go away. In many of the prosecution’s case, the government has to provide intent as an element of the crime. This is especially true for white-collar crimes such as bribery, proving fraud against the government, etc.
But even before that, government contractors facing False Claims Act charges are faced with allegations of violating a procurement law or some related event. Our healthcare fraud defense and government contractor federal defense lawyers push back early and show that the prosecution has no intent proof, or cannot prove the underlying allegations.
Are you targeted in a federal investigation by the OIG or DOJ, and don’t you know the next steps?
Best federal lawyers: When bringing a government contract fraud case, the hardest hurdle for prosecutors to overcome is proving intent. The government MUST prove intent before getting a conviction. Although you are presumed innocent until proven guilty, the reality is that you need government contractor federal criminal lawyers who understand the procurement landscape and can vigorously defend against False Claims Act allegations and respond to criminal investigations.

HealthCare Fraud Federal Criminal Defense Lawyers
The best thing you can do right to start building a legal defense early is to retain a federal criminal defense lawyer. Federal prosecutors have probably been targeting you or investigating you or your company for months or even years. One of the first things to consider is whether you have already spoken to investigators and whether you have potentially waived any constitutional rights. If you have not already been interviewed, then you certainly do not want to engage without legal counsel.
If an investigator has knocked on your door and you have received a target letter, civil investigative demand (CID), or subpoena in a criminal case, you must act quickly. Many False Claims Act cases stem from Qui Tam actions; the government attorneys have already been investigating this case for months, or even years. If you are currently under investigation, you should not take the chance to speak to federal investigators without legal counsel.
Let Watson & Associates federal criminal defense attorneys help you. Once retained, we immediately communicate with DOJ, OIG or attorneys from whatever law enforcement agency is investigating you. We have three immediate goals in mind;
- Determine what if any, legal damage has already been done
- Immediately ascertain the basis for the case and immediately start developing a legal defense.
- Determine when and if to strike to get the case dismissed or, in the alternative, settled.
At Watson & Associates, LLC, we work with local counsel and federal defense lawyers who have experience with the federal criminal process and who can craft a tailored defense with you.

What Can You Do To Weaken the Prosecutor’s Case Against You?
Litigation of federal criminal cases mostly has an element of “intent” that the prosecution must prove. If the crime requires proof of 4 elements, then 3 out 4 is not enough. The. government must prove ALL elements “beyond a reasonable doubt.” When you retain our legal defense team, we get immediately to that aspect to see what elements we can disprove.
- You have to prove a lack of intent to prevail.
- There are other legal defenses. Lack of intent is the one that gives the government the most trouble.
