Fraud

Defending Complex Financial Crime Allegations

Facing Fraud Charges? What You Need to Know:

Fraud charges in California—and often in federal court—carry life-altering consequences. Whether the allegations involve banking, insurance, or online activity, the penalties can mean staggering fines, restitution, and years in prison. With federal agencies like the FBI leading investigations, it’s critical to have an experienced defense attorney protecting your rights from the very start.

What Are Fraud Crimes?

Fraud involves intentionally deceiving another party for financial gain. This can take many forms, including bank fraud, mortgage fraud, check fraud, insurance fraud, Medicare fraud, wire fraud, mail fraud, computer fraud, and internet fraud. Because fraud often crosses state or federal lines, many cases are prosecuted in federal court where penalties are particularly severe.

Potential Penalties Include:

Up to 30 years in federal prison (for bank fraud)
Fines of up to $1,000,000 or more
Restitution to victims and seizure of assets
Long-term probation, monitoring, and loss of professional licenses
