Kickbacks

Atlanta Kickback Fraud Lawyers

WHAT ARE KICKBACKS?

Kickbacks are usually behind-the-scenes, under-the-table bribes in which business or government officials accept something of value for steering a potentially profitable project to another party. Initiating or accepting a kickback is a crime. A kickback could be in multiple forms, including:

  • Public Corruption Connected to a Public Works Project
  • Construction or Government Contract
  • Unearned Fees Related to a Mortgage Loan
  • Illegal Payments to a Contractor or Subcontractor
  • Payments from a Customer to an Employee of the Seller

WHAT ARE THE PENALTIES FOR ACCEPTING KICKBACKS?

A conviction for public corruption, or offering / receiving kickbacks, carries severe penalties, such as:

  • Jail or Prison
  • Substantial Fines
  • Criminal Record
  • Long-Term Separation from Loved Ones
  • Strict Conditions of Parole or Supervision Upon Release

Client Testimonials

    “I Honestly Thought My Life Was Over”

    When I found myself facing multiple federal charges, I honestly thought my life was over. I was woken out of my sleep while lying next to my newborn at 5AM when they came to arrest me. It turned my world upside down. After looking at the Statistics, the probability of getting a dismissal in a federal case is around 5% and acquittal even lower, I felt hopeless.

    From the moment I began working with Mr. Lotito, everything changed. He is not only incredibly knowledgeable and strategic, but truly one of the most compassionate, dedicated, and genuine professionals I have ever met. We talked about my situation for over an hour and then he invited me to his home to meet me in person. We spent hours discussing my case. Throughout the whole process I felt that he believed in me and it felt good to know he listened to my story. Other lawyers I spoke with immediately sent me retainer invoices before truly taking the time to listen.

    His level of expertise is unmatched, but what sets him apart even more is how deeply he cares. He treated me with dignity, patience, and KINDNESS every step of the way. He kept me calm throughout the entire process and checked in with me regularly, which meant more than I can even explain.

    After nearly two years of fighting, he was able to secure pretrial diversion for me, an outcome that will ultimately lead to a full dismissal. When you understand how rare that is, it speaks volumes about who he is and how hard he fights for his clients.

    The moment I went to sign my diversion paperwork, he gave me a big hug, and I broke down crying tears of joy and relief.

    I am so incredibly thankful for him and everything he has done.

    If you are looking for an attorney who will fight relentlessly for you, stand by you, and truly care, I cannot recommend him highly enough.
