New Hampshire fraud charges can range from misdemeanors to felonies, with penalties including fines, jail or prison time, probation, and restitution. Usually, the level of charge you face (misdemeanor or felony), and the penalty (jail or prison, the amount of any fines, etc.) depend on the amount of money or value of property alleged to have been defrauded. Fraud charges most often involve credit card fraud, wire or mail fraud, and embezzlement. It’s not unusual for fraud charges to arise from a misunderstanding or a simple mistake, rather than a malicious act. If you have been unfairly accused or fraud, when in fact you were permitted or entitled to use the funds or property as you did. We swiftly address this and seek to have the charges dropped.

As experienced Dover fraud lawyers, we know many of the arguments that prosecutors use against people charged with fraud crimes, and as experienced prosecutors ourselves, we know just how the other side makes their case. Anticipating the arguments our opponent uses and the type of evidence they‘ll present enables us to craft specific defenses to overcome the arguments and mitigate any evidence against you.

We seek the best possible outcome for your case, which may take the form of a plea agreement with the state. Perhaps you may be eligible for probation, or making restitution, rather than serving time in jail and having a serious fraud charge on your criminal record. Our attorneys negotiate with the other side on your behalf, and if a plea arrangement is most appropriate, we’re often able to secure a much better deal than you’d be offered on your own. We protect your rights and fight for your freedom and future.
