America’s Top Attorney on Combating Fraud, pg. 81 Angeles, CA has been ranked one of the top 2% of law firms in the nation. The Boesch Law Group, and founder, Philip W. Boesch Jr. have been involved in landmark cases including the Michael Jackson wrongful death case. He won the “Num- ber 1 Judgment in the Nation”, in the Anna Nicole Smith case, and he and his firm have achieved unmatched success in business and commercial litigation. The firm has successfully handled many challenging and complex real estate problems. In a recent telephone interview, Boesch pointed to “underperforming assets” as the #1 underlying issue in many of the legal cases being brought to the firm. Boesch explained fur- ther that “under-performing assets, combined with poor liquidity and poor expectations” are frequently the root cause of cases where fraud is alleged. When expectations aren’t met, and promises aren’t delivered on, many pursue unsustainable short cuts. These short cuts put many on the fast track to nowhere but the court room. When asked what the single best defense to avoid the temptation of committing fraud or becoming victim to it was, Philip pointed out the value of an “experienced team for vet- ting plans and reviewing prospectuses, up front”. This goes beyond just an experienced real estate and busi- ness attorney, to include tax advisors, financial planners and wealth managers or business consultants too. Having multiple sets of veteran eyes review and evaluate the strengths of a busi- ness plan or financial projections can help identify and avoid potential cash flow challenges and alert individuals to options which could increase the potential of success. On the most important first steps to take for those believing “under-performing assets, combined with poor liquidity and poor expectations” are frequently the root cause of cases where fraud is alleged.” they may be victims of fraud, Boesch recommends exercising rights to “review books and records” including the “general ledger and any available accounting software downloads such as from Quickbooks.” Many real estate project and investment opportunity pro- moters and organizers may not want this information on public display. It is wise for any investor to lean towards opportunities Continued on pg. 110 B!!ld !!!l!h !! !!!! !!ti!!m!!! !!!tf!l!! !!!h ! S!l!-D!!!!!!d IRA P!!!!!! !!!! !!!!!!m!!! !!!!m! b! !!!!g !!!!
