Fraud charges cover a wide range of alleged dishonest conduct, from obtaining financial advantage by deception to dishonestly causing loss or forging documents.
In New South Wales, these offences are treated seriously because they undermine trust in financial and professional dealings.
Whether you’re facing charges related to Centrelink, banking, insurance claims, or employment matters, the complexity of fraud cases means the evidence can be dense and the legal arguments technical.
The stakes are high, with potential penalties including imprisonment, fines, and lasting damage to your reputation and career.
Understanding the specific elements of the charge against you is the first step in building a proper response.
Fraud cases demand meticulous attention to detail.
At Wollongong Criminal Law, led by Ted Neaves, we dig deep into the evidence, examining bank records, financial statements, witness statements, and the often complex legal definitions of dishonesty and deception.
We have experience defending fraud matters in the Local, District and Supreme Courts of New South Wales, and we know how to test the prosecution’s case at every stage.
Whether it’s arguing that the conduct wasn’t dishonest, challenging the admissibility of evidence, or negotiating for reduced charges or a non-conviction outcome, we build a defence tailored to your situation.
We also understand that fraud proceedings can be drawn out and stressful.
We offer flexible conferencing options, including telephone, video, and in-person appointments.
Our fees are structured to be affordable, with fixed fees available for eligible matters and assistance with Legal Aid grants.
And if you need urgent advice, our lawyers are available 24/7.
