Few allegations are as serious and complex as criminal fraud. A single accusation can damage your reputation, threaten your freedom, and put your professional and personal future at risk. At Autrey Law Firm, we understand that being charged with fraud doesn’t make you guilty — and that every client deserves a strong, strategic, and fair defense. Our attorneys bring decades of experience defending individuals and businesses accused of criminal fraud, ensuring that your rights are protected at every stage of the process.
Understanding Criminal Fraud
Fraud charges arise when someone is accused of using deception or false representation to gain money, property, or another benefit. These cases can involve individuals, professionals, or corporations — and they often include complicated financial evidence and government investigations. Common types of fraud include wire fraud, mail fraud, credit card fraud, insurance fraud, securities fraud, mortgage fraud, and healthcare fraud. Each type carries serious penalties, including fines, restitution, and possible imprisonment. Because fraud cases often involve both state and federal laws, having an experienced legal team is critical to navigating the investigation and protecting your future.
The Stakes Are High
Fraud charges can lead to lasting consequences beyond criminal penalties. A conviction may result in the loss of your professional license, job opportunities, and financial stability. The emotional toll of facing public scrutiny can also be devastating. At Autrey Law Firm, we take these stakes seriously. We believe every person deserves to have their side of the story heard — and we work tirelessly to challenge assumptions, question evidence, and uncover weaknesses in the prosecution’s case.
Building a Strategic Defense
Fraud cases are complex, often involving financial records, digital data, and witness testimony. Our attorneys conduct detailed investigations to identify inconsistencies, procedural errors, or lack of intent — all of which can be critical in building a strong defense. We analyze communications, contracts, and transaction histories to determine whether any alleged misrepresentation was intentional or simply a misunderstanding. Many fraud cases hinge on intent, and we make sure prosecutors can’t stretch the facts to fit a narrative that isn’t supported by evidence. When necessary, we work with forensic accountants, digital analysts, and expert witnesses to build a comprehensive defense strategy tailored to your case.
Early Legal Representation Makes a Difference
One of the most important steps you can take if you’re under investigation for fraud is to contact a defense lawyer immediately. Early intervention can often prevent charges from being filed or reduce their severity. Investigators and prosecutors may reach out under the guise of gathering information, but anything you say can be used against you later. When you hire Autrey Law Firm, we handle all communications with law enforcement and prosecutors, protecting your rights and ensuring that you are treated fairly throughout the process.

Our goal isn’t just to defend your case in court — it’s to preserve your name and minimize the long-term impact of the allegations. Whether through negotiations, pre-trial motions, or courtroom defense, we fight for outcomes that safeguard your record and your future.
