How Can a Fraud Defense Attorney Help You?

If you have been accused of a fraud, you could be facing a harsh penalty. Imprisonment and/or high financial penalties can have a life-changing effect. So if you are under investigation or have been charged with a fraud related offense, you should immediately seek the counsel of a fraud defense attorney.  Your lawyer can help build defenses that can protect your interests. The types of potential defenses against charges of frauds are discussed below.

Mistaken Identity

In an increasingly digital world, many cases of fraud charges involve the victim having no face-to-face interaction with the culprit. The investigation in such cases can mistakenly lead the law enforcement authorities to you as a case of mistaken identity. So, when you have been wrongfully accused your fraud defense attorney can work to prove that it is a case of mistaken identity.

Lack of Evidence

Lack of evidence or insufficient evidence can be a big factor in helping your fraud defense attorney defend your case. The prosecutor is required to provide all the evidence to match your actions with the fraudulent offense. The right fraud defense attorney can point out the prosecution's weakness when there is insufficient evidence to prove that you committed the crime. Lack of enough evidence can help your lawyer in getting your case dismissed.

Proving Lack of Specific Intent to Defraud

An act of fraud requires the specific intent to defraud. The prosecution must have evidence to prove that you had the intent to defraud the individual or organization. If the act has been committed by accident, it cannot be considered a crime of fraud. Your fraud defense attorney can help build this potential defense if the prosecution cannot prove the specific intent to defraud behind the act.

Presence of Victim's Consent

If the so-called victim consented to the actions, then your attorney can help build your defense around this point. In this case, it is highly likely that you may have some evidence that the other party granted their permission. In such a case, your actions cannot be considered as crime.

Case of Misunderstanding

Sometimes the accusation is made based on misunderstandings. The individual or organization may be of the view that you defrauded them, but the fact could be that you lacked the key information or had wrong information at the time of the action. In this case your fraud defense attorney can take steps to clear all the misunderstanding. They may also make efforts to explain the mistakes or misunderstandings as part of your defense.
