Corporate Office & Employee Crime Investigation
If you suspect a corporate officer or employee in your company is committing a crime against the company, Brian M. Roberts Law is available to conduct an investigation that can determine if wrongdoing has transpired and give you the means to obtain prosecution of any corporate officer or employee in the crime investigation.
Prior to starting his criminal defense practice, Brian Roberts was a Harris County Assistant District Attorney. Brian specifically prosecuted cases in the Special Crimes Bureau – Major Fraud Division. In this capacity, Brian was responsible for investigating, preparing and trying cases involving theft and embezzlement, fraud, money laundering and a whole host financial crimes.
Unfortunately, in this day and age you simply cannot pick up a newspaper or turn on the television news without encountering a story about yet another individual being accused of theft and embezzlement from his or her employer. Another unfortunate reality is that for every individual that ends up being prosecuted for these types of crimes, others never face the justice they deserve. This includes employees on all levels of a business enterprise, including officers of corporations.
The reason that many employees are able to avoid prosecution for theft, embezzlement and similar types of crimes rests in the reality that these cases can be complicated to investigate. Actually pulling together the evidence necessary to effectively prosecute an employee who has stolen from his or her employer or who has engaged in other types of similar criminal activity can seem like an insurmountable task. Many prosecutors have such large caseloads already that they sometimes find it next to impossible to undertake the investigations necessary to bring these miscreants to trial.
If you are a business owner or manager, you may have discovered that you do have a once trusted employee who has stolen or embezzled from your firm. You may have found that you have an employee that has defrauded your company in one way or another. You naturally want justice to be served.
Because of his unique history in the criminal justice system – both as a prosecuting attorney and as a criminal defense lawyer – Brian Roberts uniquely is situated to provide your business the assistance it must have during these difficult times. Brian offers companies like your own an array of professional services that are designed to assist in the investigation of employee and corporate officer theft, embezzlement and fraud.
Through his efforts on behalf of your company, Brian can package the case involving your employee and his or her wrongdoing and illegal activities for presentation to either the District Attorney’s Office or to the United States Attorney. Prosecuting attorneys are in a far, far better position to initiate a criminal case when the evidence is presented and made available to them in this fashion.
In addition to being able to assist your company after the fact in investigating employee crime, Brian Roberts also offers you the ability to be proactive to prevent employee and officer theft, embezzlement and fraud in the first instance. Brian can work with you to develop strategies to detect illegal activity early on and to prevent it in the first instance.
The fact is that many individuals who might be inclined to consider stealing or defrauding an employer will think twice when that employee understands that his or her employer has a former prosecuting attorney assisting in protecting the assets of the company in the first instance.
