Straight Talk About Fraud & Theft
In these difficult economic times, many people who otherwise would never consider committing fraud or theft can feel they have no other choice.
Raymond D. Sprowls, attorney at law, tells his clients the truth: The state doesn't care how badly you needed the money. In their eyes, it is irrelevant to the disposition of your case.
"I understand how aggressively these cases are pursued because, as a prosecutor, I pursued them. As your defense attorney, I will do everything I can to help." — Attorney Raymond Sprowls
Mr. Sprowls defends clients charged with many different forms of fraud and theft, including:
- Credit card fraud
- Bad checks
- Fake or changed ID cards or benefit cards
- Forged instruments
- Tax fraud
- Unemployment fraud
- Medicaid fraud
- Workers' Compensation fraud
- Embezzlement
Fraud Against the Government
People accused of fraud against the government may believe they will be dealt with less severely because they see their actions as a victimless crime. In fact, just the opposite is true. Stealing money from an individual comes down to the credibility of the victim. When you defraud the government, credibility is not a question. The state has nearly unlimited time and resources to come after you to see that you are made an example of. That is why it is so important to select a criminal defense attorney with the experience and knowledge to represent you effectively.
Mr. Sprowls will review the facts of your case and develop a defense strategy designed to limit your exposure to negative consequences. In some cases, that may mean taking the case to trial. In other cases, he may arrange an agreement for you to make restitution for taking the funds. In every case, you can be assured that he will work to achieve a positive resolution.
