Arizona has no patience for those who commit fraud. Our state defines a “fraudulent scheme” as a theft which involves an elaborate scheme, business, or cover story in order to obtain money or some other benefit from a person or group. These matters are considered more serious than simple theft as they contain a component of fraud which involves breaching either public or individual trust. If you have been accused of fraud then it is important to hire an attorney that has the experience to handle your case. Bretton Barber is a Phoenix area defense lawyer handling such matters.

Aggressive defense lawyer assisting Arizona residents charged with fraud or collusion
Arizona defines several types of conduct as a fraudulent scheme. Such offenses may involve a relatively simple crime that one person commits against another or it may involve intentionally taking money from the larger public. Examples of fraudulent schemes include:
- Health Care fraud
- Insurance fraud
- Mortgage fraud
- Welfare fraud
- Telemarketing fraud
- Bank fraud
- Check fraud
Fraudulent crimes are always charged as a felony in our state. If the amount of money stolen exceeds $100,000 then the defendant will not be eligible for a suspended sentence or probation. Such matters will typically be complex and, more often than not, the prosecutor will begin the case through the gaining of an Indictment. After a plea is entered the case will proceed to trial. Hiring a detail-oriented attorney, who can organize complex facts into understandable information, is key to your defense.

Bretton will quickly retain the requisite experts so that a complete picture of the facts can be created.

He will be in contact with you throughout the process and will ensure that you are prepared for trial. You are facing a serious situation and you need serious counsel.
