Fraud Charges

Fraud charges are frequently complicated to prove. It is critical to understand your rights, the evidence against you, and how to defend yourself. Before making any statements or accepting any plea bargain, it’s a good idea to consult with a lawyer. An experienced fraud defense attorney can help you understand the types of charges you may face, the defenses available to you, and how to fight the charges effectively.

Fraud Defense Strategies

Every fraud case has two components: an underlying crime and the intent to defraud.

For you to be convicted of fraud, the prosecution must prove both elements. To defend you against these charges, our professional team can help you:

  • Deny any knowledge of the crime or intent to defraud
  • Demonstrate that you were mistaken or ignorant.
  • Show that no actual harm was done
  • Claim entrapment by law enforcement.

Embezzlement Charges

Embezzlement is taking money or property entrusted to you and misusing it for your benefit. For example, if an employee steals money from his employer, he may face severe consequences.

Fraudulent Embezzlement Defense

If you are accused of stealing money or property from your employer, there will almost certainly be evidence against you, such as an audit conducted by the employer that reveals improper accounting practices. Our team can help you prove that you committed these crimes without intent to commit the crime. Or they can prove that you were coerced into embezzling

Insider Trading Charges

Insider trading charges are serious because they involve illegal transactions that take advantage of a person’s knowledge of a company. Because the SEC and FBI take these cases very seriously, you will want to do everything possible to defend yourself in court.

Insider Trading Charges Defenses

Here are a couple of the most common defenses to insider trading allegations:

  • The information was public. You could have been accused of insider trading if you bought or sold stock based on non-confidential or secret information. For example, if you knew a company was planning to lay off employees, but this information was already widely publicized, it would be difficult to convict you of insider trading.
  • The information was not material. If you purchased or sold stock based on information not material to the corporation’s financial status or prospects, you might be accused of insider trading.Assume a company intends to lay off 10% of its workforce but does so every year during slow months when sales are down for the year. If this is standard practice for the company and has no impact on its overall operations, it would be difficult to convict someone who trades on such information as an act of insider trading because there is no material about such news for investors to consider.

Defense to Stock Fraud and Manipulation Charges

Stock fraud is a serious criminal offense with potentially severe consequences. If you have been charged with this crime, you should speak with an experienced Stock Fraud and Manipulation Charges Defense attorney.

  • The prosecution is responsible for proving that you committed stock fraud beyond a reasonable doubt. This necessitates them proving several elements of their case against you. They must first demonstrate that the defendant made a false statement or misrepresented himself to obtain property or money from another person or entity. They must then show that the defendant knew the statement was false when it was made. Finally, they must demonstrate that the defendant had the intent to defraud.
  • There can be no conviction on this charge if the prosecution fails to prove any of these elements beyond a reasonable doubt, you will not be convicted. For example, suppose there is evidence that you were unaware of specific facts when making your statement (such as information about another company’s financial situation). In that case, this could undermine their case against you and create reasonable doubt among jurors in favor of acquittal.

Extortion Charges and Defense

Extortion is a serious criminal offense. It is defined as “acquiring property from another with his consent, or obtaining an official act of a public officer, induced by a wrongful use of force or fear, or under color of official right.”

Extortion can result in harsh penalties. If you are charged with this crime in California, you should contact an experienced criminal defense attorney. A lawyer can help you understand your rights and protect your interests throughout the criminal process.

Fighting back against the prosecution’s evidence is a common defense strategy for extortion charges. This may present loopholes like:

  • The credibility of the alleged victim
  • The testimony of the police officers witnesses
  • Statements made by witnesses during interrogation
