Bronx Fraud Defense Lawyer
Knowledgeable Bronx Fraud Defense Attorney Ready To Serve You
Fraud has become a real buzzword in prosecutors’ offices around the country, and especially here in the State of New York. There are a few reasons for that.
In the age of the Internet, fraud is more rampant than ever. The evening news brings recurring headlines about victims of fraud, and that has created an outcry in the general public. People have asked prosecutors to crack down on fraud in the digital era, and those prosecutors have responded with incredible aggression.
Also in response to those voices, legislatures have considerably increased the funding available to fraud investigators, creating an incentive within the law enforcement community to go after these allegations with fervor.
There are political incentives, too. District Attorneys campaign on their high rates of criminal fraud conviction. The public applauds, often unaware that many of those convictions may have produced tragically unfair results for the defendants.
We’ve seen this unfold at both the federal and state level, and even right here in The Bronx. New York prosecutors have gone after fraud allegations much more frequently in recent years than they did in the past, and they are doing so with disconcerting aggression.
As a result, good people get swept up in unfair criminal prosecutions or stings — often triggered by misidentification, police error, or an innocent mistake on the defendant’s part.

Common Criminal Fraud Charges in New York
With a number of statutes available to them, prosecutors can go after suspected fraud in many ways. Often, these charges are brought alongside other, seemingly unrelated criminal allegations. Unfortunately, the definition of fraud in some statutes remains frustratingly vague.
Often, we see the charges in these cases ratcheted up. The prosecutor’s goal is to secure as many serious convictions as possible, and that frequently leads to overcharging (which can, in turn, lead to a dismissal of the charges against you once we go to work).
Some of the most common criminal fraud charges in New York include:
- Embezzlement
- Identity theft
- Money laundering
- Wire fraud
- Bank fraud (including mortgage fraud and/or securities fraud)
- Check fraud
- Counterfeiting
- Credit card fraud
- Mail fraud/email fraud
- Insurance fraud
- Health care fraud (including Medicaid / Medicare fraud)
- False Claims Act violations
- Tax evasion / tax fraud
- Government fraud or theft
- Bribery
These are all serious charges, and there are many others that might arise in a given situation as well. You need an experienced Bronx fraud defense lawyer who understands each relevant statute, the elements required for conviction, and the strategies that work against aggressive prosecution.
Technology is important too. Because so many fraud allegations include some type of technological conduct, it is imperative that you hire an attorney who is familiar with the relevant technologies and has experience in defending fraud cases that involve a complex technological component.
You Need to Take Action Now
New Yorkers who find themselves under suspicion for fraud are often surprised by just how far law enforcement will go to put them behind bars. Prosecutors even utilize conspiracy statutes to nab people whose behavior is relatively distant from the underlying fraud.
