White-collar crime generally refers to non-violent offenses involving financial or business dealings, such as fraud, money laundering, embezzlement, or public corruption. These cases often involve extensive records and document reviews, and regulatory complexity.
The consequences can extend well beyond fines or imprisonment. For many clients, such investigations and prosecutions pose significant risk to their careers, reputations, and professional licenses. Prosecutors prepare these cases carefully, often working with multiple agencies and pursuing charges that carry severe penalties.
The Suarez Law Firm provides the preparation and courtroom advocacy required to defend against these charges. We understand how prosecutors build their cases, how to challenge their evidence, and how to present defenses clearly and effectively. Skilled counsel is essential to protecting both liberty and reputation in these matters.
False Claims Act & Qui Tam Litigation
We handle both sides of False Claims Act cases—defending businesses and professionals against whistleblower claims, and guiding individuals who seek to bring legitimate complaints forward.
Read More
Qui tam actions, or whistleblower lawsuits, are brought under the False Claims Act. They allow private individuals (relators) to file claims on behalf of the government, which can result in treble damages, heavy fines, and sometimes parallel criminal investigations.
For businesses and professionals, defending against these claims requires careful preparation and the ability to challenge both the relator’s credibility and the government’s evidence.
For individuals considering a whistleblower complaint, skilled counsel is equally important. The process is complex, and the risks and protections must be carefully weighed. At The Suarez Law Firm, we guide relators through this process ensuring meritorious claims are properly assessed and pursued.
In all False Claims Act matters, we provide clear counsel and effective advocacy, ensuring clients are protected and positioned for the best possible outcome.
Healthcare Fraud & Professional Defense
We represent physicians, healthcare executives, and professionals accused of fraud, kickbacks, and regulatory violations. Our knowledge of the healthcare system and trial experience allow us to protect both careers and freedom.
Read More
Healthcare fraud encompasses allegations such as Medicare and Medicaid billing fraud, Stark Law violations, improper prescribing, and kickbacks. These cases are among the most complex in criminal defense, involving voluminous records, detailed regulatory frameworks, and heightened scrutiny from federal agencies.
The consequences can be especially severe for healthcare professionals. Beyond potential criminal penalties, these cases threaten medical licenses, hospital privileges, and reputations built over years of practice.
The Suarez Law Firm has represented physicians, executives, and providers in highly regulated matters involving allegations of fraud and other misconduct. We understand how these cases are investigated and prosecuted, and we know how to challenge assumptions about intent or compliance. Experienced counsel is essential to protecting both professional standing and personal liberty.
Commercial Litigation & Business Disputes
When a business dispute puts a company’s money, control, or reputation on the line, the response has to be strategic and forceful. The Suarez Law Firm brings both to commercial litigation. Our extensive trial experience helps us advance our clients’ interests, and because we are known for our collaborative skills, we are often brought in by our peers to help them prepare and try their commercial litigation cases.

We represent businesses, their owners, and their executives on both sides of the “v.” Plaintiffs turn to us to enforce contracts, protect trade secrets, and recover what they are owed. Defendants call us when a lawsuit threatens the business they built — or the good name behind it. Either way, the client gets a trial lawyer who has tried more than a hundred cases to verdict, supported by a firm built to handle document-intensive, high-stakes litigation.
What we handle
Our commercial docket covers the disputes businesses actually face:
- Business divorce and shareholder disputes. Conflicts among owners, partners, and members — breach of fiduciary duty, self-dealing, freeze-outs, demands for an accounting, and petitions to dissolve a company or appoint a receiver. We defend controlling owners against derivative claims and press the rights of minority owners who have been shut out.
- Contract disputes. Breach-of-contract and good-faith claims, along with the threshold fights that decide them: contract formation, conditions precedent, forum-selection and venue clauses, and enforceability. We litigate these from the pleadings through trial.
- Trade secrets and unfair competition. Theft of customer lists and confidential information, tortious interference with contracts and business relationships, and the employee- and customer-raiding disputes that follow when a competitor crosses the line.
- Business torts and reputation claims. Interference with prospective business opportunities and defamation that damages a company or a professional’s standing.
- Commercial finance disputes. Factoring, guaranty, and payment disputes, including fraud and misrepresentation claims tied to financing and receivables.
- Healthcare business disputes. Management-agreement and joint-venture disputes among physician groups, surgery centers, and their institutional partners — where medical practice meets contract and corporate law.
