Financial Fraud Investigations

TLO provides the needed background and experience for a wide range of corporate internal investigations by audit committees, Sarbanes Oxley whistleblower investigations, expert witness services for litigants, and civil litigation legal services for victims. We are experienced with Securities Exchange Commission investigations, State financial regulator investigations, and related proceedings. Through the services of an experienced securities lawyer, business lawyer, and certified fraud examiner we can assist with claims for financial fraud in state courts, federal courts (including bankruptcy courts) and administrative hearings.

Internal Investigations

When the existing law firms and accounting firms have potential conflicts, Tollefsen Law Office PLLC provides the needed services as a certified fraud examiner while preserving the attorney client privilege. We act as your private investigator: investigate the case, interview witnesses, obtain statements and prepare a report.

Sarbanes Oxley Whistleblowers

In the post-Enron/WorldCom era, public corporations need independent unbiased investigation of whistleblower complaints and other internal investigations. Using an independent lawyer as private investigator helps retain confidentiality to protect the whistleblower.

Business and Bankruptcy Litigation

Part of our practice includes litigation of fraud issues in primarily in business law and fiduciary contexts. We have in depth experience with securities fraud cases. Often the perpetrators file for protection under the Bankruptcy Code. We can pursue your claims through bankruptcy adversary proceedings. We accept a limited number of contingency cases each year usually dealing with securities, business, or fiduciary fraud.
