Credit Card Fraud Defense
Police and prosecutors have the technological sophistication to effectively investigate credit card fraud that occurs via the Internet or in person. The police may be able to follow the trail of an online credit card purchase back to the computer used in the transaction, to find a suspect in an online credit card fraud investigation. In in-store credit card fraud cases, the police may request security camera footage to show who signed for a specific purchase at a specific time.
Attorney Yannetti will conduct a thorough, independent investigation into the case against you — seeking both exculpatory evidence and possible misconduct by the police investigators.
In credit card fraud cases, it may not be enough to pay back the amount of money stolen — this is called restitution. Even if restitution is made, a credit card fraud conviction could result in a significant jail sentence.
Check Fraud Defense
Bouncing a check can be a criminal offense if you write the check knowing there is insufficient money in the account to cover the check. The formal name for this crime is larceny by check. Typically, these cases end up at a clerk's hearing. The clerk's hearing is an excellent opportunity to prevent a criminal charge from being filed at all. For that reason, it is critically important to hire a defense lawyer to represent you at the clerk's hearing if you are facing possible charges of larceny by check. Do not wait until after the clerk's hearing to seek assistance with your defense.
