Criminal fraud can involve many actions such as tax fraud, insurance fraud, credit card fraud, mortgage fraud, internet fraud, securities fraud, consumer fraud, stock fraud, IRS fraud, bankruptcy fraud, workers compensation fraud (workers comp fraud), investment fraud, election fraud, bank fraud, mail fraud, and many others. Fraud is a knowing misrepresentation of the truth or concealment of a material fact to induce another to act to his or her detriment.
It is critical that a trained and competent fraud attorney be retained in order to go to the scene and take photographs, interview witnesses, gather evidence, conduct tests, and conduct other important actions, all of which could play a vital role in your defense against fraud charges. Early defense work cannot be underestimated.
Possible defenses against fraud charges and White Collar Crime charges can include insufficient evidence, lack of intent, truth as to the representation made, lack of detriment, and factually proving innocence. Anything you say can be used against you in court. Do not discuss the matter with anyone until you have talked with a lawyer.
