Birmingham’s Boles Holmes White defend corporate fraud defendants throughout the nation
In one of the largest corporate fraud cases in history, members of the firm were involved in the successful defense of HealthSouth CEO Richard Scrushy in the first case tried under the securities fraud provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

A law firm aggressively defending clients who face aggressive prosecution.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act—also known as SOX or SarbOx—was passed in 2002 with a far reaching goal: make executives of publicly traded companies more accountable. From New Orleans and Baton Rogue, to New York and Newark, and San Diego to San Jose, large corporations have come under a microscope. Since its passage, the United States Department of Justice has become much more aggressive investigating and prosecuting white collar criminal cases related to:
- Business Fraud
- Embezzlement
- Engaging in Securities Fraud
- Falsifying accounting documents
- Misrepresenting stock values
- Misleading investors
