Arch McColl, III |
Most recently, in
defense of physicians, McColl & McColloch has not only developed
expertise of its own but has also assembled a team of experts to quickly
analyze and show the government its
own mistakes in
the areas of interpreting the medical CPT insurance codes, proper sampling
techniques, and accounting and medical billing procedures. McColl &
McColloch take pride in being aggressive, extremely knowledgeable in
the law, imaginative and resourceful, persistent and committed to
obtaining the client's objective through the use of a teamwork approach,
and using expertise drawn from across the nation. The firm has handled cases
in 15 different states and the District of Columbia, in addition to
Texas.
Over the years, the law firm of McColl & McColloch has represented physicians or other medical providers in investigations and/or
accusations of criminal fraud, with these results:
- in several cases, prosecutions have been diverted altogether
- in one case where McColl was hired, the
judge's preliminary sentence for a physician was cut in half
- in one of the cases, Arch McColl was actively involved in
successfully fighting
the attempted extradition by the U.S. government of an American psychiatrist
hiding in
England. This was another case he solved while saving the doctor's
medical license.
27 years of innovation in practicing law . .
.
Arch McColl
and Mike McColloch have pioneered over the past 27 years (the length of
time of McColl's practice), many legal techniques and concepts.
Examples of the innovations in law and technique that both Mr. McColl and
Mr. McColloch have introduced, both separately and together, over the last
27 years are the following:
- McColl & McColloch was the first criminal defense law firm in
Dallas to obtain an acquittal in a savings and loan prosecution in
U.S.A. v. M. and W.
- the first criminal defense law firm in Dallas to use mock juries
before trial, U.S.A. v. K. M.
- the first criminal defense law firm to establish the admissibility
of eyewitness experts in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth
Circuit, U.S.A. v. L. and M. Moore
- the first criminal defense law firm in Dallas to successfully use
the penile plethysmograph in federal court, U.S.A. v. R. S.
- the first criminal defense law firm in Dallas to challenge the
racial composition of federal grand juries with respect to grand jury
forepersons, U.S.A. v. D. L. C.
- the first criminal defense law firm in Dallas to use videotaped
reenactments of an alleged crime in trial, State of Texas v. R.
H.
- the first criminal defense law firm in Dallas to obtain a protective
order for trade secrets in an industrial espionage case after a search
warrant had been issued, State of Texas v. V. C. S.
- the first criminal defense law firm to have a question certified
from the Federal Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit to the Texas
Court of Criminal Appeals, Rubino v. L.
- the first criminal defense law firm in Dallas to challenge the
composition of the Dallas County Grand Juries for a five-year period
based on age, resulting in Dallas County adding an ethnic cross section
of young people, wage earners, and women to grand
juries, State of Texas v. C. C.
- the first criminal defense law firm in Dallas to challenge the
District Clerk's routine excusal of petit jurors with unsworn responses
resulting in Dallas County changing its procedures, State of Texas v.
R. T.
- the first criminal defense law firm in Dallas to use a videotape of
a client interview for a State parole hearing where the client is
otherwise never actually seen by the Parole Board, State of Texas v.
P. J.
- the only criminal defense law firm in Dallas to be asked by
one of the two major Dallas newspapers to author a weekly column on
white-collar business crime.
McColl & McColloch are not strangers to Civil Cases,
either. Mr. McColl has successfully taken on class actions and other civil
cases where there has been an element of fraud, criminality, or extreme
reckless or harmful behavior, on the part of the wrongdoer. One example includes:
- The Successful Bail Bond Class Action against Dallas County, Texas
The results we obtained were dependant upon the facts of
each case.
