Fraud offences in Western Australia can carry serious penalties, including imprisonment. Gunning Young provides advice and representation for clients facing a wide range of fraud and dishonesty charges.
We act for clients charged with both State and Federal fraud offences prosecuted by either the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions or the Commonwealth, including offences involving:
- Obtaining Property or Financial Benefit by Deception;
- Forgery, Uttering and False Documents;
- Stealing, Misappropriation and Dishonest Conversion;
- Taxation, Customs and Excise Related Offences (including Tobacco); and
- Other Fraud and Dishonesty Based Offences.
We also advise clients in relation to police investigations, interviews, search warrants and bail applications.
Our approach is to provide clear advice about the strength of the prosecution case and the options available, whether that involves defending the charge at trial or making submissions to achieve the best possible outcome at sentence.
If you have been charged with a fraud offence or have been contacted by police, we recommend seeking legal advice as early as possible.
