Charged with Fraud in Ontario?
Being charged with fraud can be an overwhelming, life-altering experience for you and your family.
In most fraud cases, the potential consequences get more serious as the dollar values involved increase.
Evidence of fraud can create a complicated paper or electronic trail that must be analyzed by legal experts, and often also by forensic auditors and accountants.
