Atlanta, Georgia Civil Litigation Attorneys
Civil Fraud
Employees, stock brokers, financial advisors, and others who act in the capacity of an agent for someone else can be held financially liable for a breach of fiduciary responsibility. Typically, a fiduciary can't put their own interests before those of the principal or beneficiary, nor can they act as a dual agent without first disclosing as much to the principal or beneficiary that could be affected as a result.
When a person knowingly breaches their fiduciary responsibility by committing fraud or putting their own interests first, they can be held financially liable for any economic harm suffered by a principal or beneficiary as a result. At the Federal Law Group, our attorneys defend people and entities accused of breaching their fiduciary responsibility through acts of fraud.

Civil Litigation
When embezzlement or accounting fraud happens in a small or medium-sized business setting, the financial consequences can significantly harm a company. Though the perpetrator may go to jail, companies rarely recover their losses. Businesses oftentimes enter into civil litigation in order to recover some or all of what they’ve lost instead of leaving the matter to the criminal justice system.
At the Federal Law Group, our attorneys work with forensic accountants and private investigators in defending parties who are accused of causing economic harm to small and medium-sized businesses through fraud and embezzlement. In some cases it is possible to work out a settlement agreement in lieu of criminal charges.
