Definition of fraud

Fraud takes place when a person makes a false statement intended to deceive the victim. When the victim relies on the statement and is damaged as a result, fraud has occurred.

Fraud defense for athletes

Not all fraud charges involve the direct theft of money or services. Steroid abuse by professional athletes can constitute fraud if they involve the athlete making false statements about the steroid use, such as when the improvement in an athlete’s performance is based on steroid use and the player denies it.

Government fraud defense

Lying to the government, whether to obtain services such as Medicare and Medicaid or to win a government services contract with a deceptive bid, constitutes fraud. Our law firm defends individuals and companies charged with all types of government fraud. Unpaid taxes may be seen as a type of government fraud as well.

If you have been charged with any type of fraud, contact an experienced defense lawyer. At the Law Offices of James M. Russ, P.A., we have many years of experience in defending a wide variety of clients against fraud charges. Call us at 407-849-6050.
