What Is Fraud?
Fraud is a crime involving the intentional deception of another for personal gain. It is a broad category of charges that can involve the use of false pretenses, false statements, or other deceptive practices to obtain money, property, services, or anything else of value from another person. Fraud can be committed in many ways, such as by mail, wire, or electronic means.
Types of fraud include:
Identity theft
Credit card fraud
Mortgage fraud
Insurance fraud
Securities fraud
Telemarketing fraud
Mail fraud
Fraud can be charged as a Class A misdemeanor or a Class C felony, depending on the circumstances of the case and the amount of money or property involved. If convicted, you could face jail time, probation, restitution, and fines. A conviction for fraud can also result in a permanent criminal record that could negatively impact your ability to find a job, secure housing, or obtain a loan.

“Mr. Fanduzz is committed to nothing but the BEST outcome for his clients.”
Nearly two years ago, I was charged with DUI and Speeding. Due to my occupation, a conviction could be detrimental to my career. I contacted Mr. Fanduzz and he was able to have my case placed on Judicial Diversion, which required me to serve only one year supervised probation (reduced from two years) and court cost. I retained my drivers license and did not have to purchase expensive car insurance.
Unfortunately, while on probation, I was charged with two counts of assault and aggravated assault. Along with these new charges, I also faced violation of my probation and the original DUI. All charges were considered Felonies at this point. There was no hesitation in hiring him to represent me again. Mr. Fanduzz not only kept me well informed, he also skillfully and agressively argued on my behalf. He arranged for my probation and judicial diversion to be reinstated and the felony assault charges to be dismissed in exchange for a plea to a misdemeanor offence.
Needless to say, I highly recommend Mr. Fanduzz because of his attention to detail and commitment to have the BEST possible outcome for his clients.
