Fraud Crimes

Rancho Cucamonga Criminal Defense Lawyers - (909) 658-7341

Fraud is a white collar crime that will be viewed with utmost severity by the criminal justice system. Depending on type of fraud allegedly committed by the defendant, government agencies could get involved with the investigation process. Even though it is supposed to be prohibited, it is also common for federal agents to support the prosecution’s attempts to land a conviction.

If you have been accused of fraud, you need to know that the penalties upon conviction will be steep. You could be incarcerated in prison for years, fined tens of thousands of dollars, and suffer complete reputation destruction, especially if you are an esteemed business professional.
