   McColl & McColloch is an 27 year-old law firm concentrating in white-collar criminal defense, based in Dallas, Texas but handling cases across the nation. It has successfully defended, in criminal cases, a variety of white-collar professionals including United States Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson, bankers and savings & loan officials (gaining the first acquittal in Texas in that type of case), accountants, attorneys, government contractors, international businessmen and physicians, especially psychiatrists.

     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 [American Eagle]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.
