Q: How do I report white-collar criminal activity (fraud, battery, perjury) to the Los Angeles DA's Office & California AG?
Defendants: Los Angeles Spine Surgeon, his University Hospital, & Device Manufacturer.
A:
You have to file a police report in most cases and they present it to the proper prosecutorial agency. Fraud is also a Civil tort where you would sue them. Without knowing what acts constituting criminal fraud are alleged it's hard to direct you to proper investigative agency.
You can try contacting the Santa Barbara DA to see if they have a Consumer Protection unit that will also initiate an investigation.
Good luck!
A:
more info needed.
I would start by making a complaint to your local police agency. They would then take it a filing deputy in the DA's office.
it is also possible the DA has a department to address this.
theoretically, a civil action could be filed but I doubt you could find a lawyer to take it on a contingency rather than an hourly. However you could also sue in small claims court and not have a lawyer.
