Your criminal defense lawyer will carefully craft your defense based on your case's specific facts and circumstances. Below are some of the most common defenses used in fraud cases:
Lack of intent (you did not intend to defraud a person or entity)
Duress (you were compelled by a third party who placed unlawful pressure on you to engage in fraudulent activity)
Entrapment (you were coerced to engage in fraud, usually by a governmental entity)
The police or prosecution violated your constitutional rights, such as an unreasonable search and seizure, no probable cause, no warrant, or failure to Mirandize you or allow you access to an attorney.
