“Words cannot express how grateful I am that I found Attorney Stephanie Raton for my son. She knew exactly what to do and went above and beyond. My son was in a tough situation in Polk County and she was able to get him out of jail quickly. Amazing team. I would hire them again without hesitation.”

Facing Fraud Charges?
Your Future Deserves a
Fierce Defense.
When you’re facing fraud charges, every decision matters. Our team provides clear guidance, honest communication, and a powerful defense built around your unique situation.
What determines whether a fraud charge is a misdemeanor or a felony in Florida?
The classification is often determined by the monetary value of the alleged fraud or the specific type of fraudulent activity involved (e.g., identity theft vs. bad checks).
What are some of the most common types of fraud charges handled by defense attorneys in Florida?
Common charges include Credit Card Fraud, Insurance Fraud, Identity Theft, and Bank Fraud, reflecting both technological and traditional financial schemes.
Besides jail time and fines, what major consequences can a fraud conviction have on a person's life?
A fraud conviction, particularly a felony, can lead to the loss of professional licenses and make it extremely difficult to secure future employment due to its status as a crime of dishonesty.
What is a key defense strategy against charges of financial fraud?
A primary defense strategy is to prove that the accused did not act intentionally or knowingly, but instead made a genuine mistake or error.
