Fraud charges can carry serious penalties, including fines, prison time, and long-term damage to your reputation and career. In today’s digital world, accusations of fraud often involve complex financial records, computer data, and electronic transactions. At the Law Offices of Ryan M. Streich, P.C., we defend clients throughout Wichita Falls and surrounding areas against state and federal fraud charges.
Fraud is generally defined as using deception or dishonesty to secure money, property, or services. These charges can range from small-scale allegations to major white-collar investigations. Common examples include:
Using stolen, forged, or unauthorized checks or cards.
Obtaining or using another person’s personal information without permission.
Submitting false claims or providing misleading information for financial gain.
Online scams, phishing schemes, or digital account tampering.
Misrepresentation in financial transactions or investments.
Fraud charges are often felonies, and penalties depend on the amount of money or value involved. In addition to prison time and steep fines, a fraud conviction can severely impact employment opportunities, financial stability, and community standing.
Fraud cases can be complex, involving financial documents, digital evidence, and expert witnesses. The prosecution must prove intent to defraud, which is often the most contested issue.

Yes. If the alleged fraud involves interstate communications, banking systems, or federal agencies, the case may be prosecuted in federal court with harsher penalties.
Fraud requires intent. If a transaction was the result of an error or misunderstanding, your attorney can argue that no crime occurred.
