Economic Crimes Attorney in Fort Lauderdale

Also called “white collar crimes”, economic crimes include offenses related to obtaining money, property or some other benefit using deception or fraud. These offenses include crimes such as fraud, forgery, embezzlement, identify theft and money laundering. Credit card fraud has run rampant in recent years and law enforcement has been cracking down on these crimes more than ever. The internet has also created an entirely new variety of economic crimes that can be carried out with only the use of a mouse and keyboard. The State often times has limited evidence against an accused when it comes to these crimes, however the State will still prosecute these cases aggressively and seek a conviction. If convicted, penalties can range from fines/costs all the way up to extensive prison time, depending on the facts of each individual case. These crimes often also include a high amount of restitution sought by the alleged victim(s), and the money sought may not always add up to the actual amount of loss. It is extremely important that anyone accused of an economic crime hire an experienced economic crime attorney from day one in order to assist in securing any electronic or other records that may be helpful to your defense.
