Fraud, forgery
A licensed mortgage agent faced eight serious charges over allegedly submitting fabricated financing documents. Because a conviction would have meant a permanent ban from the financial industry, our strategy focused on mitigating the damage. By negotiating a resolution based on partial compensation rather than the full alleged amount, we secured the withdrawal of all counts, leaving the client with no criminal record and their career prospects intact.
Fraud, laundering proceeds of crime
In a complex, multi-accused prosecution alleging large-scale fraud and money laundering, the client was facing a scheduled four-day trial. Through persistent resolution discussions with the Crown, we reached an agreement centred on a partial compensation payment. The trial dates were vacated and every charge was withdrawn, clearing the client's name.
Fraud, forged document
The client was accused of using a fabricated police report to obtain money from a national retailer. Because forging a police document significantly raises the stakes of a standard fraud charge, the Crown pursued the matter aggressively. We negotiated a compensation payment that resolved the case without a trial or a plea. Both charges were withdrawn, ensuring no criminal record would hinder the client's future employment or travel.

Speak to a lawyerThere are numerous types of fraud cases, which can vary depending on how much money was stolen and the circumstances surrounding the crime. Some examples include:
Counterfeiting: Making or selling fake currency, goods, or documents. This can include passports, driver's licenses, and other official documents.
Identity theft: Using someone else's personal information to commit fraud or other criminal offences. This can include using someone else's credit card to make purchases or taking out a loan in their name.
Ponzi schemes: A type of investment fraud where money from new investors is used to pay off older investors. This can result in substantial losses for the newer investors.
Securities fraud: Fraudulent activities surrounding the sale of securities, such as stocks and bonds. This can include insider trading, misrepresentation of information, and manipulation of the market.
You don't need to complete or carry out your plans to commit a scam to be found guilty of fraud charges. Criminal law states that the intent to defraud is enough to hold you liable. The same applies to Ponzi schemes, which are among the most common ways people are defrauded.
When it comes to criminal offences, there are two types of charges: summary and indictable. Summary offences are less serious than indictable offences and are usually dealt with in the Ontario Court of Justice. Fraud is divided into two types: Fraud Over $5,000 and Fraud Under $5,000. The difference between the two is the amount of money involved. Fraud Under $5,000 is a hybrid offence, meaning it can be prosecuted as either a summary or indictable offence. The Crown Attorney will decide how to proceed based on the evidence. Most Fraud Under $5,000 charges are prosecuted summarily. If you are charged with Fraud Over $5,000, the Crown Attorney will prosecute it as an indictable offence because the amount involved exceeds $5,000 and is considered more serious. An indictable offence can proceed in the Superior Court of Justice with either a judge and jury trial or a judge-alone trial.
