Fraud Crimes

            Simply using a check inappropriately or keeping an employer’s property can form the basis for a fraud crime.  While fraud is only a Class C felony in Missouri, a fraud conviction can have devastating consequences as it is deemed a deceitful crime.  In some instances a fraud crime can prevent you from being able to have a bank account or to get credit.  A federal conviction for fraud can follow you forever.  Many people do not realize until it is too late that the conviction for fraud is so detrimental to their future.  Make sure you hire a lawyer who can explain the consequences of pleading to a fraudulent based charge.  The Goldfarb Law Group fights fraud charges for clients regularly and often works to arrange a disposition that will not have such a dramatic effect on our client’s lives.
