THE RIGHT DEFENSE SERVICES FOR CREDIT CARD FRAUD
Credit card fraud is a serious crime that establishes criminal penalties for the deceptive or unauthorized use of another person’s credit card account in an attempt to steal money, goods, or services.
Attorney Pflaum works extensively to examine the evidence in the case and meet with his client and witnesses in order to determine the best course of defensive action.
Initial Consultation. Attorney Pflaum learns about his client’s background and the facts giving rise to an accusation for credit card fraud. He then analyzes the case based upon the prosecutions presentation of the file that contains investigative reports, proof of financial loss, identification of the client as the responsible party, and forensic records.
Defenses. The best defense to a credit card fraud accusation depends upon the circumstances of the detention and arrest, the police officer testimony, the alleged evidence, the amount of property or money allegedly taken, admissions by the accused (if any), and witness statements
The most common defenses to fraud are the following.
- No specific criminal intent
- Insufficiency of the evidence
- No proper identification of the accused
- Lack of motive
- No proof of actual loss of money or property
- No corroboration
- Inconsistent testimony
- Violation of the right to remain silent
- Incomplete police investigation
- No proof that the accused committed a fraudulent act
Jury Trial. Some cases, depending upon the client’s preference and the state of the evidence, may proceed to jury trial where criminal lawyer Pflaum has substantial experience and success.
The best type of trial defense depends upon the quantity and quality of the alleged evidence, whether the client made any statements or admissions during the course of the investigation, the credibility of the alleged victim, the consistency of witness testimony, accounting records, handwriting experts, proof of financial loss, the police investigation reports, and expert witness testimony.
Plea Bargain. Attorney Pflaum presents important and helpful information about the client to the prosecutor and the judge that results in a dismissal or reduction of the charge of shoplifting and keeps the person’s record clean.
Good plea bargains come about because the criminal defense attorney knows his client well, investigates the case, carefully reviews the police reports, examines all the forensic evidence, interviews witnesses, and develops the strengths of a case.
