Fraud Charges.

Fraud Charges.

Have you been charged with a fraud-related offence? Fraud charges are taken very seriously in Australia. They carry heavy penalties that can change your life for the worse. Sentencing in fraud cases can be as severe as many years in prison.

Fraud offences come in many different forms, but they all share one thing in common: being charged with fraud puts you at risk of facing serious consequences that, as mentioned earlier, can adversely affect your life. Serious fraud charges can often result in an immediate prison sentence, while the penalty for minor fraud offences can be less severe. However, a minor fraud conviction may still give you a criminal record, which may make it difficult for you to find new employment.



Having an experienced lawyer by your side can increase your chances of getting a favourable outcome for your case, whether that means avoiding imprisonment, reducing the severity of the penalties, or protecting you from a criminal conviction on your criminal record.
