Houston Fraud Defense Lawyer

Accused of fraud in Houston?

Criminal fraud exists in many forms, including securities fraud, embezzlement, bankruptcy fraud, investment fraud, credit card fraud, bank fraud, fraudulent billing claims, insurance fraud and many others. Rather than brutal acts like murder, arson and armed robbery, fraud-based crimes are non-violent in nature, yet are no less serious. They cover a variety of white collar crimes that may be committed independently, or as part of a combined initiative.

Criminal fraud annually costs companies hundreds of millions of dollars and are charged at the federal level in most cases. If you have been indicted on fraud charges, contact an aggressive Houston criminal defense attorney at the Law Offices of Ned Barnett to discuss the circumstances surrounding the charges and how the case could be defended in federal court.
