Fraud in Kent

In Washington State, fraud is defined as misrepresenting facts, usually for personal gain. Another way to view this crime is distorting the truth in order to coerce another person into giving up something of value. Common fraud crimes committed in Kent include:

• Embezzlement
• Bank fraud
• Money laundering
• Credit card fraud
• Prescriptions fraud
• Health care fraud
• Tax fraud

If you're convicted of fraud in Washington, you could face a prison sentence of 30 years and fines of $1 million or more. The Kent fraud lawyers at the Law Office of Jason S. Newcombe can help you take steps to protect yourself from the irreversible damage a conviction could cause.

Your role in any alleged fraud crime will be examined by the authorities and prosecutor. They will seek to determine the value of the goods, money, or services that were fraudulently acquired, and will also ascertain whether you have any previous fraud convictions.

Our Kent fraud attorneys will aggressively pursue the dismissal or reduction of your charges, but the end result will depend on a variety of factors. Your professional fraud lawyer will also seek to reduce your punishments if it's not possible to absolve you of the charges. The actions you take now are crucial, because a guilty verdict in any fraud case can be devastating.

You should never agree to an interview with anyone in law enforcement until you have legal representation from one of our experienced Kent litigators. Remember that anything you say can be used against you in court, even if you're told that cooperation is in your best interests.

The court does not show leniency when it comes to fraud crimes. Our Kent fraud attorneys know how damaging a conviction can be, so don't take any chances when it comes to legal representation. We will conduct our own investigation to make sure that any of the evidence against you was illegally obtained. If not, we can move to have the evidence suppressed. This is a key aspect of developing a resolute defense.

If you're convicted of any fraud crime, your personal and professional life could be seriously damaged. Our Kent fraud lawyers will pursue any legal means to resolve your case as quickly as possible. As professional litigators with an intimate knowledge of local courts, we fully understand the value of aggressive negotiations with the prosecutor.

If you're worried about our legal fees, we will work with you on a payment plan so that you can benefit from quality legal representation.
