Fraud Cases
Has somebody accused you of fraud? It is worrisome in a civil case and frightening in a criminal case. In criminal cases, the penalties for mail fraud or wire fraud include substantial prison sentences and crushing fines. In civil cases, such as a securities enforcement action brought by the SEC or claims brought by a former business partner, financial exposure can be significant. If you are facing criminal or civil fraud claims, or suspect you are under investigation, you need experienced counsel right away.
