Fraud is the use of deceit or misrepresentation to gain access to something of value. There are many different types of fraud, from mail fraud to insurance fraud to tax fraud and more. Embezzlement refers to taking possession of money or assets that the actor has control of, but not possession over. An example would be a financial officer at a company taking advantage of his or her position to take money from the company. Forgery is creating fake documents, in many cases stock certificates or other monetary instruments. Each of these charges requires a different strategy, and each requires the dedication of an experienced Denver criminal defense lawyer.
