What Is Fraud & Identity Theft?
In both cases, these crimes are often driven by financial motives and are generally non-violent in nature. Even though fraud and identity theft may not cause property damage or bodily harm, offenses are still heavily prosecuted with penalties including time in jail or prison and steep fines.
Offenses include, but are not limited to:
- White collar crimes
- Forgery
- Counterfeiting IDs
- Perjury
- Insurance, Medi-Cal, or welfare and unemployment fraud
- Predatory lending schemes
- Check, credit card, or securities fraud
- Internet fraud
- Mail fraud
Both fraud and identity theft can be charged as either a misdemeanor or a felony depending on any prior criminal convictions and the circumstances behind your case.

“She did an amazing job!”
When my son crashed his car on the freeway and was arrested for drunk driving I was overcome with worry and dread. I had no idea what was in store for my son and how this mistake would affect his future. It wasn't until we retained Attorney Allen 2 months later that I could finally stop worrying about what lie ahead. She clearly explained the entire process from start to finish, carefully detailed all of our options and gave us an honest and realistic idea of what to expect in the end. She did an amazing job representing him at all the court proceedings and continued to follow up with him to make sure he was fulfilling his requirements. What I am most grateful for is the manner in which we were treated. Attorney Allen didn't shame us or belittle us. Right away we knew she cared about our son and wanted to give him a second chance at a promising future.- Jacquie A.
