Fraud Charges

Fraud charges are often referred to as belonging to the category of “white-collar crimes” as they typically involve allegations of financial wrongdoing. Despite this label, they are very serious charges and punishment can include significant fines and jail. The prosecution of such cases may be based upon complex evidence from wiretaps, search warrants and detailed analysis of financial records and “forensic accounting”.

Greg Delbigio has significant experience in this area and access to industry experts in accounting and other fields that can bring important evidence to light in the defence of individuals charged with fraud.
