Fraud

Many charges can revolve around fraud, including credit card fraud, insurance fraud, identity fraud, and Internet fraud, among others. Every fraud case is different. Most of our criminal defense attorneys have extensive experience and have had much success defending many kinds of fraud charges.

While identify theft charges predominate this group, computer hacking, computer fraud, and other allegations of fraud perpetuated through a computer can be called computer crimes. All require a technically aware and detailed computer defense lawyer for you to be effectively defended.

White Collar Crime

While there is no fixed definition for what constitutes a white collar crime, the term is generally used to refer to a number of non-violent crimes that are grouped together. These crimes typically have cheating or dishonesty as their common element, and the cases are frequently complex and technical. Typically they are financial crimes.
