We fight for our clients to avoid mandatory sentencing and unnecessary charges.

What is fraud, theft and dishonesty?

Fraud, theft and dishonesty charges can arise out of a variety of situations and can be laid by both state and federal police.

‍

Victoria Police define fraud as ‘using deceitful or intentionally dishonest behaviour to obtain an advantage or to avoid an obligation’. Fraud can also include omitting information and making false statements orally or in writing. 

‍

Laws have been introduced to include aggravated home invasion and aggravated carjacking. Most of these offences carry new mandatory sentencing provisions if found guilty.

‍

How can we help?

We specialise in charges relating to aggravated home invasion, aggravated carjacking, blackmail, burglary, deception, fraud, trespass, theft, handling stolen goods, money laundering, making false or misleading statements, perjury and stealing. 

‍

We can help you and guide you to understand your rights and options. We will fight on your behalf to ensure you receive the best possible outcome.

We’ve successfully helped clients defend fraud, theft and dishonesty charges, we’re ready to help you. 

‍

What do you need to do?

• If you, a friend or family member are arrested with a fraud, theft or dishonesty offence, contact our office immediately.
• Our goal for our clients is to help them avoid charges and, hence, mandatory sentencing altogether.
• We can discuss with you about what mitigating factors you may have for your charges. 
• If it's your first time being charged with fraud or a crime, we can argue about the lack of criminal history in hopes of getting a non conviction on your criminal history.
