Fraud is a criminal charge that includes a large number of offenses connected to the deliberate misrepresentation of fact for the purpose of depriving someone of a valuable possession or legal right. Criminal acts of fraud involve any false statements, actions, or deceptive activity that is knowingly imposed on one party by another to misrepresent or conceal the truth. Laws against fraud vary from state-to-state and the penalties for such offenses can be severe.
Any omission or concealment that is injurious to another or that allows a person to take unconscionable advantage of another may constitute criminal fraud.
If you or someone you know has been accused of fraud, it is in your best interest to hire an experienced and trusted criminal defense.
