How Our Lawyers Fight Fraud Charges

At Weinberg & Miceli, we excel in defending clients against fraud charges. Our legal team understands the complexities of these cases and has a track record of achieving positive outcomes for clients. 

Here are ways we may be able to defend your case: 

  • Thorough case investigation - This is where our process begins. We meticulously examine evidence, witness statements, and the prosecution’s case to identify weaknesses and inconsistencies we can target in our defense. 
  • Consult forensic experts - Our attorneys work with trusted forensic accountants and other specialists to analyze financial data and uncover discrepancies to bolster defenses.
  • Subpoena financial records - We can seek access to relevant financial documents from banks, businesses, or other entities to combat allegations of fraud. 
  • Challenge evidence - We can challenge the validity of electronic records, wiretaps, or other forms of evidence that are typically foundational for pursuing fraud convictions.
  • Negotiate with prosecutors - When we can intervene in cases early, we are often able to negotiate with prosecutors to reduce or dismiss charges, potentially avoiding court altogether.
  • Build a robust defense strategy - Whether through proving a lack of intent, misidentification, or procedural errors, we can advocate fiercely for you in court. 
  • Fight for reduced penalties - If a situation calls for it, we can pursue strategies to minimize penalties and seek probation, reduced sentences, or alternative resolutions.
