Fraud

Defense for individuals accused of fraud and financial wrongdoing. Our North Miami-based attorney handles cases involving mail or wire fraud, credit card fraud, identity theft, and more, offering strategic and thorough representation.

Federal and state fraud charges carry high stakes: long prison sentences, hefty fines, and irreparable damage to your reputation. Fraud cases typically involve complex financial evidence, transactions, and communications reviewed under intense scrutiny. At Reynoso Erickson Trial Law, PA, we bring sharp financial legal knowledge and courtroom experience to represent clients facing charges related to mail fraud, wire fraud, identity theft, investment schemes, and more. Our focus is on analyzing every detail, challenging prosecutorial assumptions, and protecting your personal and professional integrity.

Common Types of Fraud We Defend

• Mail and Wire Fraud: Involves the use of postal services or electronic communications to execute a fraudulent scheme.
• Credit Card and Identity Fraud: Unauthorized use of credit cards, accounts, or personal information.
• Consumer and Insurance Fraud: False claims or misrepresentations causing financial loss to insurance companies or consumers.
• Investment and Ponzi Schemes: Allegations of misrepresentation in investment opportunities or securities violations.

Each category carries unique legal elements—intent, misrepresentation, communication—that the state must prove beyond a reasonable doubt. We identify weaknesses and build counter-narratives to protect your rights.

Challenging Evidence in Financial Cases

Fraud prosecutions rely heavily on documents and electronic records. We dig into:

• Bank statements, ledgers, and audit trails
• Email threads, text messages, and recordings
• Expert testimony and interpretation of transactions
• Procedural compliance in obtaining subpoenas or search warrants

We work with forensic accountants and IT specialists to verify evidence authenticity and spot investigatory errors. Every step, from evidence collection to chain of custody, is open to scrutiny.

Negotiations, Plea Alternatives, and Mitigation

When plea deals are possible, we pursue outcomes that minimize prison time, fines, and professional fallout. We negotiate:

• Non-custodial sentences or probation
• Reduced restitution obligations
• Pre-trial diversion for low-level consumer offenses

Our efforts include obtaining character references, community testimony, and evidence of restitution or voluntary cooperation to favorably influence outcomes.

Federal vs. State Fraud – Strategic Differences

Under state law, fraud cases may involve simpler proceedings and potentially lower penalties. Federal cases, however, are complex, involving U.S. Attorneys and federal evidence procedures. We are experienced in both jurisdictions, adapting our strategies to match the forum—whether it’s local courts or federal proceedings.

If you’re facing fraud allegations, your legal representation must be informed, proactive, and detail-oriented. At Reynoso Erickson Trial Law, PA, we combine financial insight with legal strategy to protect your assets and reputation. Contact us today for aggressive fraud defense in North Miami and beyond.
