Fraud And Identity Theft Charges Defence

Fraud charges involve an offender who is accused of defrauding a person or the public of any service, money, property or valuable security. The offence of fraud will either be charged as less than $5,000 or greater than $5,000. At Haryett and Co. our fraud lawyer (Edmonton and surrounding area service) looks to undermine the prosecution’s case because they have to prove that the accused offender had knowledge of the prohibited act and that the act could result in the deprivation of another person or entity.
