Felony Charges against Physician Dismissed

May 2015

Michael A. Goldstein’s client, a medical doctor, was charged with Failure to File Income Tax Return and Supplying False Tax Information. These charges arose of a continuing pattern of Medi-cal fraud in excess of $100,000. This was the second arrest for our client who had a prior misdemeanor conviction for tax fraud. After more than a year of litigation and negotiations, Michael negotiated a plea to a misdemeanor with no custody time which enabled our client to retain her medical license. In this case, Michael also secured counsel to represent the client in medical board proceedings early on.
