It is difficult to count the many varieties of fraud. Persons charged with fraud often have no previous criminal record and so the Federal or State criminal charges come as a shock and threaten to ruin their reputations and alter their lives. To prove a person is guilty of fraud, the DA must establish the person’s state of mind at the time of the offense. If you are charged with or believe you are suspected of a fraud-related offense, do not talk to anyone about your case. Contact experienced criminal defense counsel Alanna D.
