How Solicitors Uncover Flaws in Serious Fraud Investigations
BACK
18 Jul 2024

Most people hope to never end up on the wrong side of the law, but unfortunately, it can happen.

Serious fraud investigations are not something to sit back and be optimistic about. When the authorities get involved in a fraud case, there are often solid grounds for pursuing the case further.

If you’re being accused of a serious fraud crime, then it’s important to get the right legal support and guidance. Whether the allegations have truth to them or not, you are entitled to representation. It’s crucial that you’re picking the right fraud solicitor for your case, as it could be the difference between you being found not guilty, and doing time in prison.

Why choose a fraud solicitor specifically?

When it comes to niche cases such as fraud, it’s important to have a solicitor who specialises in fraud, rather than a solicitor who covers a wide range of services. A skilled solicitor will be able to identify any weaknesses within the fraud investigation that you’re involved with that might have otherwise gone unnoticed and is the linchpin in getting you cleared of any wrongdoing.

A prosecution or just an investigation into any level of fraud can have consequences that are life-changing for the person or persons involved. Even if you’re not involved or the allegations against you are false, in the court of public opinion, you can often be ruined before being able to plead your case.

Depending on the severity of the alleged fraud, you could be faced with hefty fines and penalties and in some cases, imprisonment. That’s why you should be looking at a fraud solicitor as soon as you get a whiff that you’re going to be investigated or charged with fraud.

Fraud solicitors help to defend prosecutions but they can also be used to assist with investigators so it’s good to have one on your side.

These solicitors understand the level of stress and worry that you’re likely to face and as such, it can often feel like you’re unable to defend yourself during this investigation. With a fraud solicitor who specialises in the types of fraud cases you’re alleged to have been a part of, you give yourself the best chance of minimising the impact and damage caused against you.

Techniques used by fraud solicitors in serious fraud investigations

So, what are some of the techniques used by fraud solicitors when it comes to tackling serious fraud investigations?

They’ll be able to scrutinise the evidence

Fraud investigations are great for helping to scrutinise the evidence presented by the investigators. As they often work with the relevant government agencies and organisations, they’ll often know what types of evidence are often presented. They’ll be well aware of what evidence holds up in court and what could be dismissed and thrown out.

With a fraud case, it’s often a complex matter that involves a lot of evidence, some of which might not be 100% accurate. It’s good to have a fraud solicitor who’ll be able to comb through every single piece of evidence presented by the prosecutors so that hopefully, as much of it can be thrown out as possible.

They’ll also be able to find a lack of evidence in some cases, which is only going to help support your case further.

ABV Solicitors Fraud Solicitor team has been able to successfully represent those clients who have serious and complex fraud causes. With a vast amount of experience and knowledge, ABV Solicitors are detailed in their ability to recognise legitimate or baseless evidence.

Challenging investigative procedures

Fraud investigations have a lot of complexities that can be challenging at the best of times to process as an individual who is under investigation. That’s why it’s useful to have someone who is experienced in investigative procedures.

Fraud solicitors can help turn that complex jargon into more understandable language. That way, you can feel more confident in what’s being alleged and what the potential outcomes might be as a result.

Expose inconsistencies with the allegations

For some cases, there might be inconsistencies with the allegations presented. Certain claims might not hold any weight or they may have inconsistencies whereby the information doesn’t add up or make sense.

Exposing these inconsistencies might be enough to throw out a case against you, or at least diminish its power to imprison you.

The importance of choosing a fraud solicitor for your case

Choosing the right fraud solicitor for your case is crucial. Much like any investigative case put towards you, you want to be partnered up with the right solicitor who understands your worries and whom you trust to get you the best help and advice possible.

With fraud cases, raids and arrests often occur without warning and take you by surprise. This causes huge turmoil and is something you want to get help for immediately. Being interviewed for any criminal offence can be stressful and an experience that you will want an experienced solicitor for.

Having the assistance of a highly trained solicitor like one from ABV Solicitors is crucial for all stages of the investigative process. It’s important that you have a solicitor who can communicate and help the client understand exactly what they’re being accused of and in some cases, charged with.
