Sophisticated Advocacy To Fight Securities And Banking Fraud Allegations
If the federal government targets you for prosecution in a bank fraud or securities fraud case, you need a federal criminal defense attorney who is willing to go in ready for trial. In these document-heavy cases, you need a meticulous lawyer willing to sort through all the details.
Bank Fraud
A charge of bank fraud means the federal government believes you have used illegal means to get money, assets, or property from a bank or financial institution. It can also include impersonating bank personnel to take money from its patrons.
Federal bank fraud charges can include:
- Stolen checks
- Check kiting (where a person writes a check knowing the funds are not available to cash it)
- Forgery
- Fraudulent loan applications
- Wire transfer fraud
- Card skimming
- Phishing
- Money laundering
- ATM fraud
Securities Fraud
In the financial world, a security represents ownership of an intangible money interest. It could include stocks, bonds or ownership options. Securities fraud is illegal behavior that convinces investors to buy or sell securities based on false information. Federal securities fraud charges often target professionals responsible for other people’s money, such as accountants and stock brokers. It includes charges for:
- Insider trading
- Internet fraud
- Corporate fraud
- Ponzi schemes
Willful Conduct
Before a defendant can be convicted of securities fraud, the federal government has to prove that his or her conduct was “willful.” Depending on the particular facts in your case, this can work to your advantage and provide a strong defense to those charges. Federal criminal lawyer Keith Gore will vigorously attempt to demonstrate that any regulated misbehavior was unintentional to help you avoid federal criminal convictions.

All those allegations mean you need a federal criminal defense attorney who starts day one with trial defenses in mind. Keith Gore isn’t the type to settle for whatever the federal prosecutors will offer. Instead he will work for you developing defenses and preparing to take your case to trial.
