If you have been charged with a federal white collar crime, your attorney will need the experience and analytical skills to look beneath the surface of the case. It is important to fully analyze the charges to determine how far back in the financial history the government can go to make its case for fraud. Evidence in your defense can include the statute of limitations on filing charges, the actual amount of the funds you are accused of embezzling or stealing and even the exact definition of what constitutes a fraudulent scheme.
"The best defense starts with analyzing the exact nature of the evidence and charges against you. I take the time to take a deeply analytical approach to researching the government's case. The first step is to try to negotiate a reduction or to ask the judge for a dismissal of charges, after demonstrating that the federal prosecutors have overstepped their bounds in terms of seizure of evidence, time limits or the specific charges that were filed." Attorney John Beal
Mortgage Fraud
With the fall of the housing market, many people have turned to banks and mortgage lenders to find ways to purchase property at low prices or secure loans that will help them stay in their homes. The federal government is aggressively prosecuting realtors, loan officers, and individuals who have purchased multiple properties where the mortgages have gone bad, even when there may have been no criminal intent on the part of those persons. If you are facing mortgage fraud charges, get legal defense from an attorney who understands the complex financial issues involved.
