Beverly Hills Fraud Attorney

Defense for Fraud Crimes in Southern California

Creating or carrying out a scheme meant to deceive others and unlawfully obtain their property, money, or other valuables constitutes the criminal offense of fraud. There are multiple different forms of fraud crimes, and a defendant may face charges for these in State or Federal Court, depending on the particular offense.

Have you been accused of fraud? If so, it is important for you to involve an attorney as soon as possible. An experienced criminal defense lawyer can take action to protect your rights and your interests even in the face of the most serious fraud allegations in Federal Court, challenging evidence and all aspects of the prosecution's case against you in order to seek the best possible outcome on your behalf.

Bernstein, we represent individuals and businesses throughout Beverly Hills and the surrounding areas in Los Angeles County who have been accused of any type of white collar crime, including fraud. There are harsh repercussions associated with fraud allegations, charges and convictions. A person accused of fraud may face ruined business opportunities, a damaged reputation, and may also face imprisonment and heavy fines if convicted. In fact, some forms of fraud may be punishable by up to 30 years in prison and up to $1 million in fines.

Consult a Fraud Defense Lawyer

Taking action immediately and retaining legal counsel may significantly impact the final outcome of your case. For example, if state or federal investigators are currently working on building evidence against you of bank fraud, wire fraud, mail fraud, bankruptcy fraud, tax evasion, or any other form of fraud, an attorney can work to limit the scope of their investigation and also ensure that all search warrants are legal and that you are not subject to any form of unreasonable search and seizure.
