Fort Lauderdale Fraud

A fraud is a deceptive act made for personal gain or to damage another individual. For the most part, there is no single crime called “fraud.” However, fraud is an intrinsic part of a number of offenses, most notably those in the theft category.

Fraud is both a criminal offense and is also the basis for civil liability. Defrauding people of money is the most common type of fraud and the type most frequently prosecuted. However, the Florida fraud lawyers at Leader & Leader have represented clients who are accused of fraud on both a state and federal level.

Fraud can be committed through many media, including mail, wire, phone, and the Internet (computer crime and Internet fraud). One of the fastest growing areas of fraud is Internet fraud, due to the difficulty of checking legitimacy and identity online. Additionally, the downturn in the economy has brought a renewed focus on fraud by law enforcement. As such, more state and federal resources are now being utilized to focus on the investigation, arrest and prosecution of fraud cases in not only Fort Lauderdale, but the whole State of Florida.

At Leader & Leader, we are committed to a vigorous Florida fraud defense for every client. We strive to achieve dramatically reduced or dismissed charges or favorable sentencing, whether your fraud case is civil or criminal or you or your firm are facing a misdemeanor or felony charge.
