Facing a fraud investigation is not one of those occasions when you should legally represent yourself. Accusations of fraud should under no circumstances be taken lightly and it is imperative to enlist the professional advice and guidance of a reputable fraud solicitor to ensure you are subjected to a fair investigative process. A fraud solicitor spends their professional career defending clients in a wide range of fraud-related cases.

A fraud solicitor is the best placed legal professional to provide you with a solid strategic defence. At ABV Solicitors we don’t advise anyone to ignore the seriousness of a fraud allegation. We have a team of skillful solicitors for fraud that deal specifically with fraud cases who work in the best interests of our clients.

Top reasons you need a solicitor for fraud

A solid strategic defence is made up of a number of essential tasks, to challenge the evidence provided by the prosecution, to file relevant documentation, to access expert witnesses to testify on your behalf and if necessary, to negotiate a fair settlement.

In challenging evidence, a solicitor for fraud will want to ascertain how the body of evidence was collected and whether the evidence was properly processed by both the police and/or the crime lab. Should any irregularities regarding the manner in which evidence was gathered be uncovered, that evidence can be suppressed in favour of the defendant.

Successful solicitors for fraud recognise the role of negotiation in defending a fraud case and spend a great deal of time in honing their negotiation skills. Highly skilled solicitors will use their proficiencies and experience to gain the best outcome for their client.

A solicitor’s knowledge of the local court system as represented by judges, prosecutors and courtroom staff can play to their client’s favour. Courtrooms in the UK are environments that are often defined by their customs and it is important that these are acknowledged and observed. While this knowledge does not have a direct bearing on a fraud case, it can indirectly affect a defendant’s case.

There can be an unending amount of paperwork that needs to be completed in a criminal case. Individuals often find following the protocols overwhelming, confusing and laborious. A professional legal practitioner, such as a solicitor for fraud, will know exactly what documents need to be completed and handed in to the relevant authorities thus saving their clients invaluable time.

You never know what you are in for or how to best prepare for it unless you are told of the processes and procedures involved. Solicitors for fraud are well aware of what will follow a charge and can pass on this vital information to their clients. This knowledge is particularly useful in making the process less overwhelming and frightening.

Don’t leave the outcome of your fraud case to chance; contact us at ABV Solicitors today to find out how we can help you. Our experienced solicitors for fraud have defended clients in immigration fraud cases, unexplained wealth orders, section 2 compulsion notices and numerous other types of fraud investigations.
