Tallahassee, Florida Fraud Defense Attorney
In general, fraud is defined as the intentional misrepresentation or falsification of information in order to derive some type of illegal monetary benefit. It is an umbrella term used to describe a host of actions, from the failure to report income tax to double billing for Medicare or Medicaid funds. In addition, a person may be charged with wire fraud if they use the mail, internet, phone or other interstate communication system to coordinate or commit a crime.

Early Intervention is Your Best Defense
It is not uncommon for law enforcement officials to threaten a person with fraud charges in order to coerce him or her into providing information. In these situations, it is critical that you speak with an experienced criminal defense lawyer before you talk to law enforcement officials. By moving quickly and establishing a solid defense, you may be able to avoid fraud charges.
The same is true for businesses (clinics, hospitals) charged with fraud. Contacting an attorney as soon as you receive notice of a fraud investigation increases the chances of a successful outcome.
Regardless of whether you are being coerced into providing information about others or you are the primary target, the prosecution must demonstrate beyond a reasonable doubt that you had the intent to commit fraud. Attorney Taylor provides aggressive, knowledgeable representation designed to expose weaknesses in the prosecution's case and eliminate criminal repercussions.
