Seattle Theft and Fraud Defense Lawyer

Fighting for Those Accused of White Collar Crimes

If you’ve been charged with, or are under investigation for, theft, fraud or forgery, you need to take it seriously. Don't assume that a theft citation will be treated like a traffic citation. Theft has become a significant national problem, and courts have responded swiftly with stiff new penalties and far-reaching consequences.

Property crimes carry a stigma of dishonesty that will follow you the rest of your life. A conviction that shows up on a background check may prevent you from holding a professional license, a job, an apartment, a security clearance or even entry into the military or college. There's also the potential for substantial jail time, fines or deportation of non-citizens.

Don’t make any assumptions about what will happen to you just because you have no criminal record; act promptly to protect your freedom.

Effectively Challenging Evidence

Theft cases require the government to prove criminal intent. This means that they have to prove not only that you took something, but also what was in your mind at the time of the taking. I know how to effectively challenge evidence of intent in any type of theft or fraud case, from the simplest petty theft to the residential burglary and the most complex federal conspiracy for wire fraud. Examples of cases that I handle include:

• Petty or grand theft
• Residential burglary
• Federal Conspiracy for Wire or Mail Fraud
• Fraud: mortgage, credit card, securities, investment, insurance, mail
• Forgery
• Embezzlement
• Identity Theft
