Tackling Difficult Fraud Charges With Strong Defensive Strategies

Fraud can be difficult to prosecute, since prosecutors must first establish an intent on the part of the accused to defraud others, as well as their participation in certain kinds of acts involving fraud itself. As a result, prosecutors must establish additional facts beyond the mere fact someone overbilled Medicaid, turned in an inaccurate insurance claim, or wrote a series of bad checks.

The difference between inadvertence and intentional wrongdoing may be slight indeed.

Working For A Reduction In Charges Against Our Client

Several factors can contribute to the need for pursuing a plea bargain in fraud cases. If we choose to not go to court with the case, we have extensive experience in negotiating plea bargains with prosecutors that reduce the charges or sentence against our client.

While we can’t guarantee a specific kind of outcome, prosecutors are often willing to consider a reduction in jail time, fines and charges in exchange for community service or a willingness to help authorities.
