Fighting back against fraud charges can be an uphill battle, especially in complex cases. You need a fraud defense lawyer who knows how to handle these charges skillfully and effectively.

I’m Antonio Pena, a former prosecutor and criminal defense attorney, and I’m here to help you. As a former Miami-Dade prosecutor, I bring a wealth of valuable insider experience to every case I handle. My background includes prosecuting serious offenses such as organized crime. This experience gives me unique insight into the criminal justice process, which I now use to defend my clients facing fraud and other charges.

I am committed to providing one-on-one attention and strategic defense to help you put your legal troubles behind you.

What Constitutes Fraud Under Florida Law?

Fraud is a complex crime that is often confusing for both alleged victims and defendants. Many people don’t fully understand what constitutes criminal fraud, leading to misunderstandings that can fuel baseless accusations.

In Florida, fraud laws are broad, covering a wide array of situations that may range from a single individual and a single incident up to a widespread pattern of alleged deceptive practices. Federal fraud laws add another layer of complexity and the prospect of mandatory minimum prison sentences. Both state and federal fraud charges can result in serious criminal consequences.

Fraud Charges I Handle

At Antonio Pena Law Group PLLC, I handle both state and federal fraud charges for misdemeanor and felony offenses, including those involving:

  • Mail and wire fraud
  • Bank fraud
  • Credit card fraud
  • Embezzlement
  • Identity theft
  • Employee theft
  • Tax evasion
  • Bribery and other forms of corruption
  • Other forms of criminal financial fraud

Cases involving allegations of criminal enterprises can lead to related charges such as racketeering under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act, money laundering and conspiracy. Employees of a business might find themselves caught in this web, even if they were unaware of the alleged criminal activities. It’s important to work with a skilled defense attorney such as myself to addresses these types of charges.
