Fraud Defense Lawyer inSan Diego

Fraud is a type of criminal offense that may be simply defined as "theft by deceit." Fraud may involve a scheme or other plan meant to defraud others of money, goods or property. This is a type of white collar crime that is most often non-violent in nature and may involve forgery, misrepresentation and outright lies in an attempt to deceive others. Depending on the value of property or money involved, the targeted victim and the offense itself, a defendant may face fraud charges in state or federal court.
