Utah
criminal law contains several specific versions of fraud:
communications fraud, insurance fraud, credit card fraud, identity
fraud, unemployment fraud, public assistance fraud, and securities
fraud. Each of these charges involves different elements and
can
present different challenges to the defense. An experienced
Salt
Lake criminal lawyer can make all the difference.
The level
of a fraud charge is based on the value of the items or money involved.
Amounts less than $1500 normally result in misdemeanor
charges.
Anything higher becomes a felony and can mean years in prison.
In
addition to potential prison time and thousands of dollars in fines,
simply being accused of fraud can impact your life outside the
legal system. Simply being accused of fraud can negatively
impact
your employment prospects, or could get you fired from your current
job. An accusation of fraud affects how your neighbors,
friends,
and even family may look at you. A Salt Lake fraud charge is
something to take seriously.
