Scully & Lagos are experienced, aggressive criminal defense lawyers who concentrate on Insurance Fraud defense.
In Massachusetts, fraud charges are very serious offenses and cover a complex range of activities. Such as:
- Embezzlement
- Insurance fraud
- Identify theft
- Unauthorized use of a credit card
- Credit card fraud
- Uttering forged checks or other instruments
- Internet Fraud
Because of the wide range and seriousness of fraud offenses, more than one law enforcement agency could be investigating you. You could be under investigation right now and not be aware of it. This is why it is imperative that the moment you suspect you might be under investigation or if you have fraud charges pending against you in the Boston, MA area, you need to hire a well-qualified, criminal defense attorney as soon as possible. It is also important that you not discuss your case with anyone but your attorney. Law enforcement officers could question everyone that you know, from your family, friends, neighbors, employees, co-workers, and employers. If these people have any documents that could help law enforcement support their case against you, then they will be required to turn them over.
Since you could be under investigation by one or more agency, your attorney will need to start his investigation into your case as soon as possible. The agencies that could be investigating you are:
- Local police
- State police
- FBI
- IRS
- Federal Trade Commission
This is why you need an attorney with experience defending fraud cases in both the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and Federal court systems. Penalties for fraud charges can go up to 2 1/2 years in prison, and a fine of up to $5000.
