Fraud Cases

Fraud cases are serious allegations. The punishments for these crimes can mean years in prison, as well as the loss of your assets. If you or a loved one is facing Fraud charges, choosing an attorney to defend your case is one of the most important — if not the most important — decisions you will ever have to make. It is absolutely essential that you retain the services of an aggressive, highly experienced Fraud Defense Attorney with a proven track record as soon as you possibly can. Fraud cases can not only land you in jail, they have a far greater potential to harm you. These cases uniquely attack your most important asset, your reputation. If you lose your good reputation then people will not trust you. This may impact your relationships and even your ability to earn a living.

Our New York Fraud Defense Lawyers work as part of a Criminal Defense Team that consists of experienced attorneys, forensic experts and private investigators with law enforcement experience. We will carefully scrutinize all of the allegations against you and we will present evidence of your innocence to to prosecutor in an effort to avoid charges if they have not already been filed, or to get filed charges reduced or dismissed. Mayo Bartlett is a former prosecutor who prosecuted Fraud cases while working in the Investigations Bureau of the Westchester County District Attorney’s Office.

These cases often result from a misunderstanding about the procedures involved in receiving unemployment benefits. They may be charged as Grand Larceny, Forgery and Criminal Possession of a Forged Instrument and Embezzlement. We will fully investigate your matter and we will fight to help you maintain your freedom and your reputation.

You should be aware that fraud may be considered a crime of moral turpitude for immigration purposes, and it may lead to denial of citizenship or even deportation. Similarly, if you are charged with lying to federal authorities, you may be charged federally under 18 U.S.C. 1001, and you may be imprisoned if you are convicted. If you are facing an investigation into possible fraudulent activity, it is essential that you hire an experienced fraud defense attorney.
