Accounting Fraud Lawyer

Accounting Fraud defense requires early, careful strategy because financial statements, ledgers, revenue recognition, audits, investor materials, corporate records, and white-collar investigations can create serious criminal, financial, professional, and reputational consequences.

Lebedin Kofman LLP represents clients in New York federal and state matters, including investigations and prosecutions connected to the Eastern District of New York (EDNY), Southern District of New York (SDNY), New York City, Nassau County, Suffolk County, and related jurisdictions.

Issues to Review Early

• intent, materiality, loss, reliance, and who controlled the records
• emails, audit trails, accounting policies, expert analysis, and business context
• SEC, DOJ, IRS, or state-agency overlap in complex financial investigations

Defense Strategy

The defense may involve reviewing subpoenas, warrants, discovery, financial records, agency records, witness statements, communications, expert issues, loss calculations, sentencing exposure, and collateral consequences. Early work can help preserve evidence, prevent harmful statements, narrow the issues, and position the case for dismissal, reduction, negotiation, sentencing advocacy, or trial.

Speak With Counsel

If you received a subpoena, target letter, agency contact, search warrant, arrest notice, or indictment, do not guess about your exposure. Contact Lebedin Kofman LLP before speaking with investigators or producing materials without a strategy.
