Los Angeles Fraud Crime Attorney
Fraud Crime Defense
Fraud crimes are a form of theft that include offenses such as embezzlement, credit card fraud, mail fraud, Identity theft, tax fraud and healthcare fraud. Some fraud crimes are misdemeanors, but most cases will involve felony or federal charges. A conviction for fraud can result in:
- Incarceration
- Fines
- Victim restitution
- Public service
Specific penalties will depend on the nature of the crime, such as the extent of the fraud, the damage that was done to the victim, if the offense was part of an organized criminal activity and the defendant's prior criminal record. Effective legal representation by a Los Angeles criminal defense lawyer is vital in a fraud case. A seasoned attorney can review the facts regarding your arrest, and the methods used by law enforcement to gather the evidence against you. Any violations of your constitutional rights may lead to a reduction in charges or case dismissal. If you are under investigation for committing fraud, your lawyer may be able to prevent formal charges from being filed. An attorney can also ensure that your rights are protected and you do not make statements to the police that can get you in further legal trouble.
