Defining Fraud.

Here is a white-collar crime with a number of different meanings attached to it.  Specifically, criminal fraud involves using a lie, deception, falsehood, or dishonesty in an attempt to gain a benefit.  Fraud can also be a civil wrong-doing meaning that victims can bring a civil lawsuit for money damages, to fairly compensate them for the losses they suffered as a result of the fraud.

Types of fraud in California may include –

1.  Computer or internet fraud…a growth industry for sure!
2.  Benefits.  Someone has been arrested for dipping into a company’s benefits program.
3.  Welfare.  It is very common as people on the edge try to “get an edge”.
4.  Workers’ comp.  Obviously, there are many who may have exaggerated their claims.

Fraud involves a great deal of complicated legal matters.  If you or a loved one have been arrested, please call William Chestnut.  He is a San Jose California area fraud attorney who has just about seen all of its versions in his four and a half decades defending central and northern California.  Arrange a consultation with Bill Chestnut by calling (408) 298-6990.
