How Did This Happen? Talk to a Lawyer Who Listens
If you have been accused of bank fraud, talk to a criminal defense attorney who understands federal banking laws and who can protect your rights.
It is important to explain what happened to your lawyer, not to a prosecutor who can use misstatements or take advantage of your confusion about the law. At the Otis & Johnson law firm in Covington, Kentucky, a bank fraud defense attorney will listen to what happened and provide a defense based on the facts.
What Are the Strengths and Weaknesses of Your Case?
Our first concern is understanding what happened. Many people get involved in bank fraud without even realizing what they are doing. By having a lawyer who will stand by you, that lawyer can know all the facts, explain the law and determine the best actions to take on your behalf.
- Using fraud (false statements or false documents) to obtain credit can lead to charges of mortgage fraud and other financial frauds.
- Check kiting schemes, bad checks, stolen checks, using someone else's name or a slightly different name from your own, using someone else's Social Security number (Identity theft) to get a loan and forgery are all against the law and can be charged as bank fraud.
- Lying on loan documents or signing an affidavit (sworn statement) that contains a misleading mistake can be charged as bank fraud.
