The Criminal Defense Attorneys of Kestenbaum, Eisner & Gorin LLP, a premier Los Angeles Fraud Defense Firm, have successfully represented numerous clients accused of state and federal healthcare fraud offenses involving allegations of Medi-Cal and Medi-Care theft.
The firm specializes in representing medical service providers and healthcare professionals, who are facing state and federal criminal fraud charges, as a result of working in: (1) Pre-Natal Care Facilities; (2) Durable Medical Equipment Sales; (3) Home-Health Care; (4) AIDS Infusion Therapy; (5) Adults Day-Care Facilities. Criminal fraud allegations charged by the government include the practice of fraudulent billing, false cost reports, kickbacks or capping, and the unlawful practice of medicine. The government thoroughly investigates theses cases, sometimes for years, and is tenacious in prosecuting suspects charged with Medi-Care and Medi-Cal fraud.
The firm's recent courtroom successes are listed below. In each instance, the accused was facing multiple years in state or federal custody if convicted:
A licensed medical doctor was accused of forging patient files to increase Medi-Cal benefits, causing a $3 million fraud in Los Angeles County. The firm obtained a dismissal of all felony charges after demonstrating intentional government misconduct violated the client's due process. The government is appealing the dismissal.
An unlicensed nurse was accused of engaging in the unlawful practice of medicine while using a California nursing license that did not belong to her. The alleged fraud spanned several years, exceeded $250,000, and was charged in federal court. The firm was able to secure a no-jail disposition for the client.
A business owner operating an Adult-Day Health Care in Ventura County, with over $5 million Medi-Cal billing, was accused of fraud. The case was dismissed by the magistrate during the preliminary hearing due to insufficient evidence.
An insurance agent was accused of collecting premiums from client businesses and then failing to purchase policies for them. Our lawyers obtained a probationary disposition with no jail time, after restitution was made. The DA recommended a jail sentence.

Michael Jackson's Physician Gets Criminal Defense Lawyer
As expected, Dr. Conrad Murray, the former personal physician of the late Michael Jackson, has hired a criminal defense attorney to help with the potential manslaughter prosecution after giving the pop icon too many harmful drugs.
The lawyer, Michael Flanagan of Glendale, has been involved in a similar case where a nurse was charged with manslaughter for administering the same drug thought to have killed Jackson: propofol. She was acquitted.
The trial date is still up in the air. In fact, the district attorney's office has stated that no decision has been made in Murray's case, although the doctor is listed on filed search warrant documents as the target for a manslaughter probe.
As for a jury? Murray's lawyers said that if one had been chosen yet, they haven't heard of it.
