Deceptive Practices Lawyers
Deceptive practices are used to mislead people for financial gain, usually through fraud. The Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act criminalizes the use of deceptive practices and imposes penalties on those who are convicted of such a crime. Sometimes, an innocent mistake can be construed by the authorities as a criminal act, and innocent people can find themselves the subject of a criminal investigation.
If you are charged with deceptive practices or are being investigated for deceptive practices, hiring an experienced criminal defense lawyer is the best way to insure a positive outcome and avoid harsh penalties. The authorities seek criminal convictions, large restitution amounts and prison sentences when they prosecute deceptive practices cases. It takes aggressive defense strategies and effective advocacy to properly represent you in court.
