Appeals Team deputies focus on appeals, including appeals that arise from the Section&rsquo;s class actions.

Basic Function</b></div><div><br>
An attorney in this section investigates and prosecutes all forms and types of insurance fraud. The matters involved range from the relatively simple to the extraordinarily complex. The duties are divided into two related and inextricably bound stages: investigative and prosecutorial.</div><div></div><div><br>
The investigative stage begins with the assignment of a referral of suspected insurance fraud to an attorney and an agent. The attorney and agent will work together to coordinate and to conduct the investigation. The complexity of the matter to be investigated determines the nature of the investigative tools used. Generally, the more simple investigations involve a review of insurance company records and other relevant documentation, interviewing witnesses, and the preparation and execution of search warrants when necessary. In the more complex, long term investigations, the Grand Jury and electronic surveillance might be needed.</div><div></div><div><br>
In larger more complex cases, IFS attorneys and agents may work with other sections of the Office, including the Appeals and Legal Services Section, when complex legal issues arise, or additional investigative resources are needed. In matters involving significant sums of money, coordination with the Asset Forfeiture Administration Unit may be required to seize and preserve assets for forfeiture/restitution.</div><div></div><div><br>
Once an investigation is completed and a decision is made to pursue a prosecution, either a complaint or a Grand Jury Presentment is prepared. Following arrest, the assigned attorney is responsible for all phases of prosecution, including arraignment, preliminary hearing, pretrial conference, pretrial motions/hearings, trial (bench/jury), post-trial motions/hearings, and sentencing hearings.</div><div></div><div><br>
An intimate knowledge of criminal law and criminal procedure is necessary to perform these duties.
