STATE & FEDERAL FRAUD DEFENSE LAWYER IN NEW YORK

If you’re facing fraud allegations, whether under state or federal statutes, you need a defense lawyer who understands both the complexity and the stakes. Evan Hughes has years of experience defending fraud cases at all levels. He has the skills and resources necessary to protect your rights and mount a formidable defense.

Understanding Fraud Charges

Fraud is typically defined as the intentional misrepresentation or concealment of a material fact to induce another party to act, resulting in harm. Fraud charges may arise in many different contexts, and the consequences can be severe. You may face:

Incarceration
Large fines
Orders of restitution
Harm to your reputation or professional standing

In most serious cases, fraud is prosecuted as a federal crime, and that requires an attorney who knows the federal courts inside and out. Many attorneys familiar with state courts find themselves overwhelmed by the procedural and substantive complexities at the federal level. We have extensive experience in both arenas and can guide you through either path.

Specialized New York Fraud Defense Attorney

Defending fraud cases is no small feat. The U.S. government and New York state prosecutors have vast investigative tools and resources. Without the right counsel:

You can be blindsided by discovery demands, grand jury subpoenas, and forensic accounting
You may underestimate the nuances of federal sentencing guidelines
You might lose leverage in plea negotiations or trial strategy

Our firm is committed to leveling the playing field. We pair deep legal knowledge with investigation tactics, expert consulting, and tenacious advocacy, whether your case is in state or federal court.

Approaching Your Defense Case in New York

Every fraud case is different, and the defense should reflect that. Our approach includes:

Early intervention and strategic planning — Act quickly to shape investigations, preserve evidence, and possibly limit exposure.
Comprehensive investigation — Work with forensic accountants, IT forensics, and expert witnesses to analyze data, trace transactions, and uncover hidden evidence.
Aggressive negotiation or trial posture — Where appropriate, explore dismissals, reduction of charges, or plea agreements. Otherwise, prepare a vigorous defense at trial.
Transparent communication — We keep you informed of developments, potential risks, and decision points every step of the way.
Holistic focus — Beyond criminal liability, we consider collateral consequences: professional licensing, civil exposure, regulatory penalties, and reputational harm.
