    Fraud is a type of white collar crime that involves misrepresentation or deception with the intent to gain something of value.

    Defending Yourself Against Fraud Charges

    Fraud is a complex crime, and the specific crime you are being charged with will determine both the penalties you're facing if convicted and the best strategy to defend against these charges. The facts and circumstances of your case will dictate the path taken to help fight for your rights. Some common defenses to fraud include: 

    Lack of intent. In order to be convicted of fraud, the prosecutor must prove that you intended to commit the crime. If there is no evidence of this intent, you may be able to have the charges against you reduced or dismissed. 

    Mistake. In some cases, a person accused of fraud may have actually believed that they were entitled to the property or money in question. If you can show that you made an honest mistake, this may be enough to get the charges against you reduced or dismissed. 

    Duress. In some cases, a person may commit fraud because they were threatened with violence or other harm if they did not comply. If you can show that you only committed the crime because you were under duress, this may be enough to get the charges against you reduced or dismissed.
