Chicago Criminal Defense Attorney Represents Client in $45 Million Medicare Case

Chicago Based Criminal Defense Attorney Joshua B. Adams Represents Client in $45 Million Medicare Case before the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.

Chicago, United States – July 12, 2017 /PressCable/ —

In a $45 million health care case before the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Chicago criminal attorney Joshua Adams of the Law Offices of Joshua B. Adams represented defendant Monette Mojares. Mojares was one of the initial 15 named defendants the United States indicted in 2014 for an alleged multi-million dollar Medicare scheme.

Mojares was charged with one count of conspiracy to commit health care fraud and one count of substantive health care by billing Medicare for services not rendered. The four-defendant jury trial commenced February 22, 2017. The remaining named defendants plead guilty prior to trial.

On the last day of trial, Mojares’ criminal defense attorney Joshua Adams, along with other defense counsel, discovered that the prosecution withheld crucial evidence. The evidence the prosecution failed to disclose was potentially exculpatory for Mojares and could have changed the outcome of the case.

The Chicago Tribune noted, “The lead prosecutor from the Justice Department, apologized for not turning over grand jury transcripts of the IRS.” The prosecutor also failed to present witnesses for defense counsel to cross-examine. The Chicago Tribune reported that “[t]he plea deals would mark an embarrassing end of a prosecution touted in 2015 by then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch as a significant part of a nationwide crackdown she called ‘the largest criminal health care fraud takedown’ in the department’s history.”

This trial marks yet another huge success for Chicago criminal defense lawyer Joshua Adams. Mr. Adams had Mojares’ collective $45 million fine reduced to a mere $1,661.
