Michigan Fraud Defense Lawyer
Fraud is a form of theft which is carried out by way of deception. Because it involves clandestine means of deceiving clients from their money or goods, fraud is most often a non-violent crime. Many forms of fraud are also classified as white collar crimes as they are committed in business or political environments.
If you have been accused of fraud, you will need a skilled Michigan fraud defense attorney at your side to protect your rights. The penalties for a fraud-related offense may range from imprisonment in county jail all the way to 30 or more years in state prison, along with fines that may total more than $1 million! Fortunately, the lawyers at Swor Law are highly experienced in representing clients facing all types of fraud charges, including those in both state and federal court.
