Phoenix Fraud Lawyer
Representation from a Phoenix Criminal Defense Attorney
A fraud crime is defined as a crime that is committed for the purpose of
financial gain in some manner through the use of deception. Although normally
occurring in the business world, they can also occur in cases such as
bribery or identity theft. Many of these crimes occur in areas having
to do with finance, such as in banking, accounting or sales. Though not
typically involving force or violence, they nevertheless carry stiff penalties
if convicted. Sentences can range up to 30 years for certain crimes and
costly fines. A damaged reputation, in addition to possible imprisonment,
is not something you will want to risk. To ensure you have the best chance
to avoid conviction, contact our Phoenix criminal defense lawyer from

Because fraud crimes can occur anywhere, especially if involving the internet,
some are charged at the federal level while others are charged at the
state level. Whenever a fraud crime is against the government, such as
counterfeiting, it will be considered a
federal crime. However, crimes which cross state lines, such as one originating in Phoenix
but committing a fraudulent act against someone in another state, is also
considered a federal crime. Some fraud crimes include:
- Bribery
- Government Fraud
- Counterfeiting
- Theft
- Embezzlement
- Pyramid Schemes
- Wire Fraud
- Bank Fraud
- Political Corruption
