Fraud essentially refers to the intended act of deceiving an individual for either financial or personal gain. Covered by both criminal and civil law, a victim of fraud can file for a civil lawsuit whereas only government prosecutors have the power to bring criminal charges to an individual accused of attempting fraud.

Whether you are an individual being accused of fraud or it is your company being investigated, it is important that you seek legal advice as soon as you can and also consider legal representation. Fraud investigations can be both complex and lengthy so it is important to find the right legal representation in order to increase the chance of receiving a positive outcome.
