    ARE YOU BEING INVESTIGATED FOR FRAUD?

    If you think you are being investigated for fraud, you should contact a fraud lawyer immediately for advice.  We have experience in dealing with early resolution to avoid charges being laid.  Many times, we jump in at the earliest point where there are no charges yet laid but an investigation by an employer has been commenced and we have had many successes in ensuring that the matters are resolved quickly and quietly BEFORE any charges are laid.

    Whatever you do, DO NOT SPEAK to your EMPLOYER, INSURER or THE POLICE in any Interview about alleged fraudulent or dishonest activities. You have a right to remain silent so use it.  You have a right to a lawyer so use it.

    Not calling a fraud before you are charged if you know or suspect
    you have done something wrong could be the biggest mistake in your life.  We are not here to judge but to defend you.

    FRAUD & FALSE PRETENCES LAWYER

    There are 2 types of fraud offences under S, 380 of the Criminal Code.: Fraud over $5000 and fraud under $5000. Fraud occurs when any person or the public is defrauded by deceit, falsehood or other fraudulent means, of any property, money, valuable security or service. Even when there is no actual loss you can be convicted so long as there is both an intention to defraud and some risk of loss to someone.

    FRAUD UNDER $5,000 LAWYER

    Fraud Under $5,000 is treated as a serious offence because it involves planning and deliberation. If the Crown proceeds by summary method, you face 6 months in jail and if by indictment you face up to 2 years jail.

    FRAUD OVER $5,000 LAWYER

    Fraud Over $ 5,000 is a very serious indictable offence for which you face up to 14 years in jail.
