Fraud

Jacksonville Criminal Defense Attorney

Defending Fraud Cases in Florida

While in some cases, facing fraud charges may be dealt with at the state level, most frequently fraud is a federal matter investigated by the FBI and other federal agencies.  Once a federal investigation is complete, the matter is turned over to the United  States Attorney’s Office for prosecution.

At Fallgatter Farmand & Catlin, our criminal defense lawyer handling such cases was a former federal prosecutor, for 17 years, and was the Chief Assistant for the Jacksonville, Florida office, who prosecuted and oversaw the prosecution of federal fraud cases.  Bringing decades of criminal law experience from the perspective of both sides of the courtroom, he works diligently to examine your records and determine what the prosecution is looking for, so your rights can be protected.  The sooner you obtain our firm, the better jump we can get on case preparation and making motions.  While our first objective is either to avoid having charges filed, to have charges dropped or to present evidence that convinces a grand jury not to vote for an indictment, in the event that your case does go to trial, we are prepared to present a powerful and compelling defense.

Examples of cases involving fraudulent activities include the following:

Our firm represents clients in both federal and state fraud cases.  Even if you only suspect that a company or organization you are involved with may have taken part in fraudulent activities or be under investigation for fraud, your best course of action is to seek experienced legal counsel immediately.  Our criminal defense lawyers can review your affairs and determine whether you could be held liable, and, if so, what action can be taken to protect you.

An initial consultation with our lawyer is absolutely free and you are under no obligation.  Understanding the legal situation and protecting your rights may be one of the best decisions you ever make.  Call our office at (904) 353-5800, or contact us online to arrange an appointment.
