Rochester Fraud Defense Lawyer
What Is Fraud?
Fraud is an offense that involves deception or misrepresentation for the offender's personal gain. Fraud crimes are very serious and may be charged as state or federal crimes. Depending upon what person or entity is affected by the crime, a defendant facing fraud charges may face up to 30 years in prison and fines of up to $1,000,000. If you or someone you know was accused of or arrested for fraud, or if you have been contacted by law enforcement regarding a fraud investigation, it is important that you contact a Michigan criminal defense attorney as soon as you can.

As you can see, fraud crimes span a number of different fields. Different persons or organizations may be targeted, and different means may be utilized to carry out the intended offense. It is crucial to dispute these types of charges to avoid the penalties that can be faced if sentenced. Your rights may be in jeopardy. You cannot afford to face a conviction for a serious crime such as fraud, as you may face a lengthy term of imprisonment as well as fines, probation and other penalties. In addition, those found guilty can deal with a criminal record.
