On Behalf of | Oct 18, 2017 | Blog |

White-collar crime charges are serious offenses, and Indiana residents convicted of these types of crimes could face a myriad of penalties that may impact the rest of their lives. If you find yourself under investigation for a white-collar crime or you are already facing charges, there is no time to lose in protecting your interests.

One of the most common types of white-collar crimes is fraud. Fraud is a term that encompasses various types of criminal activities, but they all relate to financial misconduct and dishonesty in some way. While you may feel overwhelmed by your current situation, it is possible to defend yourself effectively, mitigating potential penalties and possibly avoiding conviction.

What is fraud?

Fraud includes illegal actions committed for the sake of financial gain. Fraud could include dishonesty, theft, coercion and more. Some of the most common types of fraud include the following:

  • Insurance fraud
  • Tax fraud
  • Identity theft
  • Bankruptcy fraud
  • Wire fraud or securities fraud
  • Mail fraud
  • Mortgage fraud
  • Telemarketing fraud
  • Credit or debit card fraud

Any of these charges could result in serious legal penalties. You could find yourself behind bars, left with expensive fines and dealing with a loss of your reputation. Most white-collar cases involving fraud are federal cases, and the penalties can be even more significant. A strong defense is essential to protecting your personal freedoms and future interests.

Depending on the nature of your case, you may also face civil consequences for your crimes as well. You have the right to confront the case against you, seek a beneficial outcome and challenge any of the evidence brought against you by the prosecution. This may seem like a complex and daunting effort, but you would be wise to secure legal help due to the serious nature of your legal situation.

Defending your future 

Facing criminal charges of any kind is serious, including charges of fraud. It is never too early in your case or too late to secure defense help, and you can start this process simply by seeking a complete evaluation of your case. You would be wise not to delay in getting the appropriate help you need during this difficult time.

If charged with fraud, you need an experienced and knowledgeable legal ally by your side. With this guidance, you can fight for the protection of your rights and work to shield your future from any negative impacts from your current situation.
