Fraud Lawyers

Certain types of deceptive and otherwise illegal activities are prohibited by state and federal law. Collectively, these activities are often called fraud. The key component of fraud is an intent to deceive. Therefore, cases involving negligence usually do not suffice. When deceit is present, however, the matter can be handled in both the civil and criminal courts. In fact, many such cases will involve both a civil claim and a criminal complaint. Thus, the penalties for engaging in such conduct can be monetary as well as punitive, involving fines, damages and even prison.
