FRAUD

Fraud offences carry with them heavy financial penalties and potential terms of imprisonment. However, with the right legal representation, such a charge can be successfully defended.

Fraud generally refers to any act or omission by a person that is designed to induce a course of action by deceit, or by deliberate dishonest conduct, with the purpose of obtaining money or any other form of financial benefit. This includes making and using a false instrument to obtain a financial benefit by deception, such as the production and of a false credit card.

Fraud charges require very close analysis as there are technical defences which can sometimes provide a complete defence. If you have been charged with fraud, even in instances where it is not feasible to defend all criminal charges, it may be possible to successfully defend some of the criminal charges. Either way, obtaining sound legal advice and effective representation at an early stage can make a massive difference to the final outcome of your case.

At GMH Legal, we will vigorously pursue your interests at all times, whether this involves negotiating with the Police, the Director of Public Prosecutions, the Australian Taxation Office, or representing your best interests with the Australian Securities and Investment Commission. If your case ends up going to court, we will prepare a solid legal defence for you in a timely and responsible manner, within the confines of the law.

If your case proceeds to sentencing, we will assess the applicability of all the mitigating circumstances which could potentially reduce the severity of any sentence imposed on you, such as financial hardship, gambling problems, drug and alcohol issues, and the non-characteristic effect that any mental health problems, such as depression, may have had on your conduct. We have the knowledge and connections necessary to retain the services of experts, in the field of psychology and other medical fields, whose psychological and medical reports will assist you in secure the most lenient sentence possible in your given circumstances.

If you has been charged with fraud, you require the assistance of an expert criminal lawyer who is capable of giving you a detailed and realistic breakdown of all your legal options and avenues. Please contact one of our criminal lawyers at GMH Legal, who will be able to advise you of the best course of action to taken in your given circumstances.
