Understand and Challenge the Fraud Charges Against You

The term “fraud” has a generally vague and open definition. Part of the trouble with fraud allegations is that the accusers can try to warp its meaning to whatever best suits their claims. If you want to fight against their words, you will need to understand the various forms of fraud, and how we can help you establish a defense that can challenge them.

Some forms of fraudulent activity include:

• Mail fraud
• Wire fraud
• Counterfeiting
• Embezzlement
• Credit card fraud
• Identity theft
• Tax fraud
• Bankruptcy fraud

The penalties that you could be facing for a conviction on fraud are highly dependent on the details surrounding your case. Based on the circumstances and if your accusations involve breaking state or federal law, you could be facing either misdemeanor or felony charges. Regardless of the specifics, a conviction will be highly damaging to your well-being. You could be slammed with jail time, probation, steep fines, and repaying the amount that was allegedly stolen or forfeiting illegitimately.
