Queens, NY Fraud Attorney
Fraud is a type of white-collar crime that is broadly defined as intentionally deceiving a person or group of people for personal gain or in an effort to injure another party. Because there are so many different types of fraud, convictions for fraud charges will vary greatly and will depend on the facts of the case, the value of the property taken (or amount of injury caused) and an individual’s criminal history.
Regardless of the exact type of fraud charge filed, however, these charges are serious, and convictions can result in sentences, including life in prison, jail time and permanent marks on the individual’s criminal record.
