Fraud

Among other types of criminal cases, fraud can be overlooked and the severity of a fraud crime can be underestimated. Penalties for fraud include jail time, community service, fines and more. Having a fraud conviction on record greatly reduces opportunities later in life. You do not want to gamble with your freedom and hire an attorney who does not thoroughly understand how to defend you in this type of case. I have won many not guilty verdicts on these types of cases, and in the best situations, a complete dismissal.

Types of State Fraud

As a criminal defense attorney, I have handled many fraud cases. Fraud is a broad term that encompasses many different forms of fraud. Types of state fraud include Insurance Fraud, Welfare Fraud and Embezzlement. Insurance Fraud involves providing fake information or any other action to receive insurance monies. Welfare Fraud also includes false information used to receive welfare, including not reporting another income. Embezzlement refers to essentially stealing money or any other form of property from an employer.

Why Hire an Attorney

All forms of fraud have the possibility of obtaining very serious penalties, and should be handled with expertise and finesse. As an experienced criminal attorney of 27 years, I can offer that as well as complete knowledge of the legal system in Orange County. Many clients have difficulty reaching their attorney after the attorney has been retained. I advise each of my clients the best possible time to reach me, and I set aside time each day to be available to answer questions. I will always return calls by the end of the day.

I have worked closely with the Orange County courts for many years, which is an important factor that contributes to the success of any case. The technicalities involved in dealing with different court houses are ever changing, and it is my job to stay current with any new information that becomes available. This knowledge, as well as my experience in over 2,500 cases, provides my clients with the type of unmatched, quality defense that they deserve. My clients come from many areas of Orange County, including Garden Grove, Anaheim, Yorba Linda, Orange, Santa Ana, Huntington Beach, Irvine, Newport, Tustin, Westminister, Costa Mesa and more.

Just because you have been charged with a criminal offense does not make you a criminal, and it is not my job to judge you based on your guilt or innocence. By law, you have the right to an attorney. You have the right to hire someone who understands the law and your rights.

Do not take shortcuts while going through this hard time in your life. If you want a tough attorney who will work hard to preserve your freedom, call Barney B. Gibbs today.
