Los Angeles Fraud Defense Attorney

Fraud Crimes in the Los Angeles Area

Fraud charges are no joke. I take your defense seriously. White collar crime such as bank fraud, credit card fraud, tax evasion, insider trading bankruptcy fraud, internet fraud, securities fraud and other types of criminal offenses get their share of jokes in television shows and movies, but these are serious matters. If you have been charged with fraud in the Los Angeles area, your best option is to hire an attorney who understands how to use restitution as a trade off for jail time or other serious penalties. In my experience, prosecutors are aware that throwing an employed head of a family in jail for a nonviolent crime such as internet fraud or forgery is not in the best interest of society. My objective is always to push for a payment plan that meets everyone's needs, and keeps you out of jail. If you've been wrongfully accused of fraud, I will fight to the end to seek a dismissal of all charges against you. With more than 20 years of experience and the resources to properly handle your case, I am confident in my ability to help you.
