Fraud Charges in Oakland County

Fraud is generally defined as deceiving another individual in order to bring some material gain to your self. In order to prove that fraud has actually taken place, the state has to prove that the defendant knowingly lied with the intent of bringing benefit to his or her self at the expense of the purported victim.

It's often difficult to prove what a defendant "intended" without relying on speculation or pre-conceived assumptions. However, many prosecutors are adept at doing precisely that. A skilled prosecutor can make an innocent defendant look guilty, or can make a guilty defendant's crimes look much worse than they were.

The only way to ward of an unjust sentence is to go to court with an experienced attorney by your side. Fraud defense lawyer James W. Burdick at Extraordinary Law knows every trick in the prosecutor's bag - because he used to be one himself. He knows how to make the most of the evidence and arguments in your favor, and he will focus his time and talent on enforcing your rights under the law.

If you are facing fraud or drug conspiracy charges, only a fraud defense attorney can protect your rights. For an initial consultation at Extraordinary Law, contact the firm online or c all (248) 335-5000.
