Dallas Business Lawyer

Clark B. Will, Attorney

Business fraud affects not only the company but also negatively impacts its employees, vendors and sometimes, its entire industry. The Texas business attorneys at Kilgore & Kilgore will help you sort out the legal implications of deception in your business, recover assets, or pursue a breach of contract matter, whether it is by making claims against an insurance policy or going after the perpetrators themselves.

Accounting Fraud

Many small, family owned businesses are susceptible to internal theft because they do not have systems in place to protect against it. The essential characteristic of fraud is the intent to deceive. Typical accounting fraud scams include overbilling, fictitious sales, fake bank loans and fake bank references.

Whistleblower Protection

The Sarbanes Oxley Act provided guidelines for publicly traded companies and offered best practice principles for accounting managers. While protecting the little guy, these and other legislative maneuvers to govern publicly traded companies offer opportunities for employees to come forward while being protected. The Dodd-Frank Act gave the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) more teeth to help whistleblowers, providing large dollar awards.

Wide Variety of Business Litigation Experience

Kilgore & Kilgore handles many different types of business fraud cases including the following examples:

• We helped a venture capital company recover its investment in a failed film company.
  
• We represented an international business by placing a constructive trust on the mansion of a convicted swindler who went to jail for fraud.
• We investigated and uncovered employees embezzling funds through credit cards, transferring funds to themselves through fictitious business transactions and through trade secret theft.
• We helped a bank execute against collateral when it was victim of a fake sales scheme.
• We helped an interior design firm recover assets embezzled by an employee by making claims against a credit card company and vendors who turned a blind eye to the scheme.
