Overview

Since 1995, the Law Offices of Stanley L. Friedman has represented California healthcare providers, business owners, and individuals facing criminal investigations and prosecutions involving healthcare and financial fraud. Founded by former prosecutor and longtime defense attorney Stanley L. Friedman, the firm represents clients dealing with allegations involving losses ranging from millions to hundreds of millions of dollars. The firm has handled a wide range of complex healthcare and financial fraud matters in both state and federal courts.

Investigations involving healthcare and financial fraud are very different from typical street crime cases. Earlier in his career, Mr. Friedman served for six years as a federal prosecutor in the Major Frauds Unit of the U.S. Attorney’s Office. In that role, he investigated and prosecuted numerous healthcare and financial fraud matters. Since opening his defense practice in 1995, he has represented individuals and businesses facing the same types of allegations he once investigated as a prosecutor.

Mr. Friedman focuses his practice on white collar criminal defense and regularly advises clients and attorneys regarding complex fraud investigations and prosecutions. His experience on both sides of these cases provides practical insight into how healthcare and financial fraud matters are investigated, charged, and litigated. The firm works closely with clients to evaluate the facts, explain the legal process, and develop a thoughtful defense strategy.
