It’s extremely common for a professional to get new business from referrals and word of mouth. According to California law, paying for these referrals is a felony. Known as capping, there can be serious consequences for a conviction. Whether you’re a doctor, dentist, lawyer, or other professional, if you’ve been accused of capping you need a criminal defense attorney.
Prosecutors take capping cases seriously and are going to prosecute accordingly
The state of California considers capping to be a serious offense, in part because capping often goes hand in hand with other professional crimes like fraud. Why? Because the state is not interested in paying for Denti-Cal, Medi-Cal, or other benefits if the services they’re paying for weren’t performed. This happens frequently when a healthy patient is recruited to a professional business through capping.
You must be proactive with any capping charges
A charge of capping is not a charge that you can ignore. You cannot simply hope that it will go away or that it will get sorted out. You can count on the state to dedicate resources to convict you for this crime and you should dedicate your own resources. That’s where Law Office of Michael L. Fell comes in.
