Fraud, Consumer Protection & Regulatory
Strategic Mediation for Complex Fraud, Consumer-Protection, and Regulatory Disputes
Regulatory scrutiny and high-profile fraud allegations can drain resources, erode brand trust, and expose companies to treble-damage risks. With almost 30 years litigating DTPA, consumer fraud, False Claims Act, securities, and other consumer-protection matters, I have the experience necessary to guide parties toward practical settlements that limit costs and publicity risks while preserving future business relationships.
What I bring to the Mediation Table
Experience defending and prosecuting False Claims Act (qui tam) actions, including healthcare cases.
Deep familiarity with DTPA and other state consumer-fraud statutes, class-action exposure, and statutory-damages calculations.
Securities litigation background that clarifies complex valuation models and loss-causation arguments.
An evidence-driven approach that helps counsel evaluate whistleblower credibility, scienter hurdles, and regulatory posture.
Mediation Is Especially Valuable When
Parallel DOJ, SEC, or state-AG investigations increase stakes and legal spend.
Potential treble damages or statutory penalties create “bet-the-company” pressure.
Class certification looms, raising negotiation leverage for plaintiffs.
A confidential forum is needed to test settlement ranges without public admissions.
