Handling All Types of Fraud Charges
Fraud can take on many different forms. It often involves the provision of false information and a breach of trust. According to the Criminal Code of Canada, a person is guilty of fraud over $5000 or fraud under $5000, if he or she: by deceit, falsehood or other fraudulent means, whether or not it is a false pretence within the meaning of this Act, defrauds the public or any person, whether ascertained or not, of any property, money or valuable security or any service.
We represent clients alleged to have commit many types of fraud, including:
In any fraud case, we work hard to minimize your legal jeopardy. In many cases, there is often a delay between the investigation stage and any laying of charges. Investigations done by private companies, insurers, the government, your employer, or any other body can be forwarded to the police, who may then lay charges. Fraud is a serious criminal offence that can result in a criminal record and up to 14 years in jail. We use our knowledge and experience to resolve cases and prevent criminal charges and civil suits.
Protecting Your Rights and Professional Standing
Mr. Frost and his associates understand the effect that these accusations can have on registered representatives and other professionals in the financial profession.
