Criminal Law

Fraud by False Representation

Understand Your Situation

Fraud allegations threaten your freedom and your financial future. We provide the forensic defence required to clear your name.

Defending Fraud Charges

Fraud by false representation occurs when you make a statement you know is untrue to make a gain or cause a loss. This covers everything from mortgage fraud to lying on a CV.

Our defence strikes at the heart of the charge: dishonesty. We work to prove that you believed the information was true, or that you had no intent to deceive. We analyse the paper trail—emails, contracts, and bank records—to contextualise your actions as business disputes or honest mistakes, not criminal fraud.

Accused of Lying?

Honest mistake? We prove you didn't intend to commit fraud.

Plan Your Defence

Complex Financial Investigation

Fraud cases often involve thousands of pages of evidence. We use specialist forensic accountants to review the financial data.

We look for evidence that the 'victim' was not actually misled, or that you had a right to the money. We also handle 'abuse of position' and 'failure to disclose' fraud, ensuring that complex commercial relationships are not criminalised by over-zealous prosecutors.

Frozen Assets?

We help unfreeze bank accounts during fraud investigations. Call us.

Legal Aid Availability

For many criminal matters, from police station interviews to Crown Court trials, public funding (Legal Aid) may be available to cover your legal costs.

Eligibility is determined by the seriousness of the case and, in some instances, a means assessment. Our team will conduct an immediate, confidential assessment of your eligibility to ensure that financial constraints do not stand in the way of a robust defence.
