Capping

Have you been accused of capping? Rely on Michael L. Fell to defend you in criminal court and at any professional discipline hearings.

Many professionals rely on referrals and word of mouth to grow and sustain their businesses. However, it is extremely important for these referrals to be natural—not bought and paid for. The practice of paying for referrals, aka “capping,” can be prosecuted as a felony under California law, resulting in serious criminal and professional consequences for doctors, dentists, lawyers, and other professionals.

If you have been accused of capping, you need to remember this:

Capping is Investigated and Prosecuted Aggressively

Because doctors, dentists, and lawyers involved in capping are often also involved in various insurance fraud schemes, the state takes capping very seriously. After all, the state does not want to be paying out Medi-Cal or Denti-Cal benefits for services never performed—and this often happens when healthy patients are recruited through capping.

So, if you are accused of capping, the last thing you want to do is sit back and wait for the accusations to sort themselves out. You need to be proactive.

You Need to Hire Michael L. Fell

As an aggressive defense attorney with a history of defending this crime, Michael L. Fell can immediately begin protecting your rights and interests during a capping investigation. Thanks to his years as an Orange County Senior Deputy District Attorney, he has an uncanny ability to sniff out weak or illegal evidence that the prosecution may hold. He can often get charges dismissed based on insufficient evidence, or secure a favorable plea agreement that will save his clients from a drawn out legal battle.

Don’t Forget Professional Discipline

If your case is settled with a plea, you may face discipline from the State Licensing Board. Fortunately, you can rely on Michael L. Fell to help you in this arena as well. He can ensure you receive an impartial hearing and help you present evidence to the Board that will encourage them to consider disciplinary measures that are less severe than outright license revocation.

If you have been subject to past discipline for a prior capping conviction, Attorney Fell may be able to help you reinstate your license once your criminal probation is complete.
