- United States District Court for the Southern District of California—represented a wife and husband charged by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of California (San Diego) in a $125 million health care fraud scheme, allegedly billing government healthcare programs for medically unnecessary treatments. At sentencing held on March 1, 2024 in federal court in San Diego, Probation recommended that the wife be sentenced to 6 years incarceration and the husband be sentenced to 8 years. Taking into account a lesser role and assistance to the Government, the Government recommended over 3 years for the husband. However, based on vigorous argument at the sentencing hearing, coupled with years of assistance to the Government by the defendants, we were able to persuade the court to issue a more lenient sentence of 27 months (2.3 years) for both husband and wife.
