Criminal Defense Representation for Clients in Arizona
Being accused of fraud can turn your entire life upside down. Even before a case goes to trial, your reputation may be severely damaged; friends, family, and employers may lose trust in you.
On top of that, penalties for a fraud conviction can be devastating, ranging from probation to 15 years in prison. You could also face civil lawsuits in addition to criminal charges. In many civil cases, you may be required to pay the other side’s attorney fees. With so much at stake, having an experienced attorney on your side is essential. Without experienced legal counsel, you are at a serious disadvantage.
Fraud charges often involve multiple agencies and investigators, and prosecutors have significant resources.

Fraud Cases We Handle
Fraud involves using deception, misrepresentation, or dishonesty to gain an unfair advantage, usually for financial gain. Arizona law recognizes various fraudulent activities, which may be classified as misdemeanors or felonies depending on the circumstances. These charges can involve individuals, businesses, or even government entities and have severe consequences.
Arizona fraud charges fall into three general categories: consumer fraud, employee fraud, and fraud against government or businesses.
A fraud conviction doesn’t just mean possible prison time or fines. It can follow you for life, with a permanent criminal record limiting career opportunities, housing options, and even personal relationships. Our firm is committed to providing one-on-one legal representation to protect your freedom, reputation, and future.
