ABOUT david FLECK
A Career Devoted To Fighting Fraud
An attorney since 1997, Fleck began his career at the U.S Customs Service fighting import fraud.
He moved on to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office’s White Collar Crimes Division, where as a deputy DA he prosecuted felonies and complex financial crimes, including business, real estate, investment, insurance, and loan fraud as well as identity theft, forgery and money laundering for 10 years.
In private practice since 2009, Fleck has represented people and companies in civil lawsuits to recover money and property after their business partners lied to and cheated them.
FIELDS OF EXPERTISE
Fraud Lawsuits
In its simplest form, fraud is defined as a lie.
The lie might be verbal or in writing. It might be a forged signature or document. It might also be an omission of critical information. Each of these examples can cause the target to make different decisions than they would if they had known the truth. That is fraud.
The good news is this: fraud lawsuits can be easy to win. Once we prove to a jury that the perpetrator lied, they will no longer believe his excuses and explanations.
The bad news is this: it can be very hard to recover stolen funds from a perpetrator, because fraudsters typically spend the stolen money as quickly as it comes in.
However, most fraud cases also involve other parties who negligently enabled the perpetrator to commit the fraud.
Because con artists usually cannot accomplish their schemes alone, often they use their skills of persuasion to convince others to violate their duties to you.
These enablers may include attorneys, escrow officers, real estate agents, investment brokers, bankers, valuation experts, or accountants.
In many cases, we pursue legal action not only against the con artist, but also these enablers to obtain a just outcome for the victim of fraud.
Business, Real Estate and Investment Fraud
The business disputes we litigate typically involve a party who never intended to meet their obligations from the beginning.
Financial Elder Abuse
Elderly persons can be more susceptible to fraud because they are forced to rely upon and trust others.
Complex Fraud Investigations
The firm works with a team of retired federal investigators, local detectives, and forensic accountants to investigate financial crimes.
International Fraud
Often, victims are business persons from a foreign country who have relied on the services of another expatriates.
Embezzlement
Embezzlement is unique in that the perpetrator initially had lawful access to the money they later stole.

Things on Better Call Saul that real lawyers would never do
From the first moment viewers met Jimmy McGill, aka Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk), in the second season of Breaking Bad, it was almost immediately clear that he's less of a lawyer with a penchant for breaking the rules and more of a career criminal with a law degree.

I endorse this lawyer. I worked with David on a litigation he was handling. While it was a relatively small case, David took the matter to heart.
