Credit Card Fraud

Miami Federal Criminal Defense Attorney

Credit card fraud is a federal crime that relates to attempting or carrying out a scheme to defraud others and involves credit or debit cards. Simple theft may be involved, as in a case where an alleged perpetrator physically steals another's credit card and uses it. Credit card fraud may also be carried out via the internet, hacking, or other computer crimes. Essentially, the offense would involve misrepresenting information, counterfeiting, forgery or any other form of fraud or deceit to possibly obtain another's credit card information or to defraud vendors by using a counterfeit card.

Making the choice to involve a criminal defense attorney may have a significant impact on your case. You may currently be at risk of facing felony charges in federal court, and having an attorney at your side even before charges are formally filed against you can help ensure that you have the opportunity to avoid charges in the first place, or at the very least to lessen the charges or the potential penalties you may otherwise face.
